The great news is that just like you're not forced to buy an Android or iOS device, you're not forced to travel to Qatar.

"Vote with your feet" applies to jurisdictions just like it applies to technologies. Of course, like with technologies, making such a choice has the potential to limit you in other ways.

Do not worry, the WEF and UN will be diligently taking notes of this field test and by the time it's rolled out in your country this will be resolved.

I cannot wait to have a social credit score! It is a wonderful idea and I am only disappointed that our wise un-elected WEF and UN leaders are being so shy in rolling it out.

Can we go back to FEMA death camps? This is just tiresome at this point.

Tiresome? You don't think the WEF goal of "I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better"[0] needs more awareness?

No kidding. If we miraculously pull out of this nose dive before climate change erases us all we’re immediately going to be tossed into a world where AI makes us basically zoo animals for the ultra wealthy.

> a world where AI makes us basically zoo animals for the ultra wealthy.

... for about 3 years, before one of the ultra wealthy elites presses the wrong button and the AI ends up putting them in the zoo (or paperclip raw materials hopper) too.
