China social credit system on metaverse

Let the heads roll

Dear Reader, Talk about "control freaks"...  China runs a totalitarian regime in the real world. Their social credit system started in 2014. The premise is simple: Monitor the population to keep them in line.  Of course, the official logic behind the system sounds better.  Cushioned under the backdrop of "morality".  According to government documents the idea is that "keeping trust is glorious and breaking trust is disgraceful."  To keep everyone in line, behavior is monitored.  Step out of line and punishment is forthcoming. Punishment in the form of a slower internet.  Flight bans.  Whatever else the "powers that be" can manufacture.  Well, now, the Chinese powers want to bring their social credit system to… of all places… the Metaverse.  They demand digital IDs and real-world punishment. Step out of line in digital fantasyland and you could end up in jail.   All of this, of course, is meant… "... to keep the order and safety of the virtual world." How nice? Say something untoward in a Metaverse chat room. Next day… get cuffed and punished for those indiscretions.  The Chinese government wants their proposal to apply… get this… to everyone in the Metaverse regardless of nationality.  (My. My. What a world we live in, eh?) One place you won't ever find these kinds of restrictions is… Cointelegraph Markets Pro.
