A system where citizens are financially & socially punished for their opinions.
They’re total hypocrites.
They’ve joined forces with Silicon Valley to cheerlead and lobby for an almost identical system right here in the west.
Imagine

idiot in San Francisco thinks you posted something “hateful” on the
Internet.
That’s our collective future.
