The path to a digital ID/$ society is closer than ever, we are beta testing it live!

Not long ago the press kept diabolizing China for their social credit system, turns out it wasn't a bad idea, or was it, i'm lost!?

The story is just that TwitterX is doing it, not a commentary on whether it’s bad or good.

Twitters just a website, It's not society. Articles like this being posted and reposted are part of what make it such a loud little teacup. This post, this OMG comment, and all the other musk Twitter 'news' we are forced to try and ignore all the life long day, are the cause of the whole problem.

Leave it alone and it will go away. Keep picking at it and it will only get worse.
