    China has addiction centres for people addicted to their social media sites, I'm sure we all know someone who can't put their phone away due to constant online validation seeking, how big a problem is it going to be?
    I can only see it getting worse with the rising popularity of YouTube channels and Instagram etc.

    The Commies in China now have a "Social Credit Score", aka. Have you been a good boy and girl for the totalitarian Communist government?

    One of the ways your "Social Credit Score" can be effected is by playing too many video games or buying too much alcohol. I'm sure in time, that Social Media will be amongst the don't dos in China's social credit system.

    What an Orwellian nightmare of a country. I feel so sorry for the 1.4 billion Chinese people suffering under the iron grip of Communism. Though if the likes of Macron and Merkel get their way, there will soon be a European Social Credit Score system to show whether the EU bureaucracy thinks you are pro-EU enough :rolleyes:

    I think you'd find the vast majority live under a lot more freedom than the typical Irish person, based on my experience living in Vietnam, which has a similar way of doing things. By freedom, I mean a lack of consequences for one's actions.

    That new system is awful, though. I thought it hadn't come online?

    I think it has, though with the CCP and it's culture of secrecy you would never know.

    The CCP has implemented a system far beyond what even George Orwell could have imagined. China must be an Orwellian nightmare for anybody who values so much as shread of personal freedom.
