Black Mirror was a preview of reality, not sci-fi.

Yeah, don't doubt it though because that sounds VERY VERY UK.

the usual pattern is

"propose outrageous thing"

"receive blowback"

"release less outrageous thing as 'compromise' "

where "less outrageous thing" would have been "outrageous thing" if proposed first

The west has been working with china on beta testing the social scores. I randomly found out that China gives out Friendship Awards and started looking into the people who received them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship_Award_(China)

For instance, John Hopcroft has taught thousands of Chinese how to develop AI in which they used for nefarious things such as the social credit system.

"CS Professor John Hopcroft will join Kai-Fu Lee, head of Innovation Works research unit, to train 500 teachers to teach 5,000 students about artificial intelligence (AI). The program is organized by the Chinese Ministry of Education, Peking University and Innovation Works (a Beijing incubator) to train young AI talents."
