democratic societies require ideological control. We are seeing today how unfettered communication is leading to polarisation and consequent 'crisis of democracy'. Good job we are reasserting control over information flows - banning Trump etc - in order to reduce confusion, improve indoctrination and promote stability.

I disagree strongly, but I believe this comment should be in full view so that people can appreciate it is not a rare sentiment. I have encountered it within my social circle quite often.

Those in favor of such a system for some reason are 100% convinced that it will be people like them who get to decide what's acceptable thought and what thoughts deserve punishment. The reality is much more likely that such a beast will take on a mind of its own and all of us, regardless of ideology, will end up suffering greatly under it.

In short, you described authoritarianism.

all comments should be in full view, no true democrat can accept anything otherwise. Cheers to you!

one social credit has been deposited in your account

no need for social credit - we have private platforms to do the controlling for us. Broadly, we seem to welcome this, wouldn't you agree?

The low education of many Americans is the reason Trump was/is effective, not because he has a capacity to communicate...

education is indeed where the indoctrination starts. It might be the primary purpose of centralised education systems - they are society building institutions, not individual character building ones
