Western political culture feels like a softer, distributed version of the social credit score. How large of a distribution of opinions are you allowed to hold while keeping a job in the tech sector? We know from the examples of political firings that the range is not infinite. And people have gotten "cancelled" from private communications being made public on more than one occasion.

Because it's a volunteer, private process and not the government doing it, we still call it "freedom" but it really doesn't feel like an open society anymore. But I do acknowledge that we still have it way better in the West than they do in China (for now).
