> The counterpoint is that people could use this same system to rate their actions before they act. Imagine a plugin that would warn you before you post some opinion on social networks or add someone to your friend list that it would decrease your rating by 10 points(!) Then you could select which actions you want to do and avoid reducing your score. That would make the rating system meaningless.
No, it would make the system highly effective; control of discourse through the exercise of "soft power". No need to proactively censor if you train people to do it themselves.

The only private place we could have is in our heads, or maybe if we wear one of those "laptop socks" and play with a device disconnected from the web (LOL).

An anonymous forum with AI working hard to protect people from detection.
