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.

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
