I'm sure I've been marked as an undesirable already! LOL I'm sure the U.S. does this kind of social crediting system just in secret.. for now! lol soon they will roll it out just like China. Pretty scary but I'll keep voicing my concerns until I can't talk anymore :-) what else can I do?? at least I know in my heart that I'm speaking up in my own small way.. here in the U.S. these law makers are in exact opposition on their "laws" and no one has done anything.. look at the APEC treaty. That got signed and is being used to breach the Geneva convention - yet no lawyers are jumping up and suing anyone.
Thanks for reading @simon62 - you have brought up many things into my mind! I may have a follow up post about social crediting and the blacklisting of individuals lol
Most people are afraid @amariespeaks. They have an income, they might not like the actions of their Co, or superiors, but as long as they personally are not faced with dirty choices, it can all slide, cos I'm all right jack, is the delusion that they want. Being afraid to be honest is the one delusion that allows all bullies to get away with their bullying. No one wants to have to argue their innocence or explain the sensible stance before the majority that does not want to see. -if I don't look, I will not see anything wrong and will not be disturbed or have to speak out against the powers that allow me to be comfortable -
I'll put a poem by Thomas Moore in my blog post today, for your use. Copy/paste and print, and plaster on your fridge or post on your time-line. He died for his beliefs. 😊

thanks @simon62 I will definitely check out the poem. And you're so right.. people would rather bury their heads in the sand because at least they're "safe" and "separate" from all these injustices. It's very concerning 😒

The difference, I believe Ed be that speaks, is that there is a list of members one might have. On one side is those who have opinions and comments, but no discernible informative posts, and the other side are a community that gives. They write posts of an informative style, and their comments add to dialogue and information available, rather than away from it. Many posts on steemit are but a photo, and even it, however 'nice' a scene is non-informatiin. The cameraman does not name the scene, nor say it was taken in a westerly, or southerly direction from the knoll,or road that runs from a to b. I've seen photos of food, that says how delicious, but has no recipe, or no method, and even no location as to 'is it Italian, Venetian, whatever¿' The site seems to get more shallow, the further I look. It seemed a great idea three months ago, but there seems no distinction between those chasing a dollar, and those after information, expansion and learning. I see lots of competitions but to what end? Whatever is posted is lost as the numerous global village, swamps the site with shallowness immediately and after six days archives. The tags five, are too many or not enough. This is where the robots would be useful, in a steemit app to research the archives and divide them into a workable index. Until the money or whales or both pressure the IT geniuses into indexing, the whole steemit site is nothing but an enormous well from which very little can be retrieved, because the tag system is not set up for information retrieval but for money earning. Ridiculous.

@simon62 I agree there has to be a better way to catalog info and also to combat shallow posts. I personally never upvote photos unless there's a story along with it but I'm only one person. The platform has great potential but it is crowded with nonsense and people just in it for the payout... much like real life. It can be rather discouraging, to say the least. But it may get better - I hope it does!

Well we need rules, but we don't need decisions from non-humans or their drivers who can't spend time reading what their moron has found, properly. Why do mechanics get paid when they can make no decisions nor post actual info, but only copy/pastes. Those drivers of morons are the thieves of steemit, when every single post is a pre-programmed copy/paste. Bullies!!

Yes - people forget the human element in discerning content.. AI cannot do what we can and it does not take context into account either. It is quite frustrating. I hope a solution is in the works by people smarter than me lol
