See my original comment, I see plenty of negatives! But it seems most commenters here are only downsides. References to Black Mirror and 1984 everywhere. I think that’s overblown, and it seems to me like a great experiment to run and learn from. If it turns out to be terrible then we know, if it has upsides but has trade offs in privacy that the west won’t like, then we know. But shouldn’t we find out? I have the same thought behind UBI and drug decriminalization as well: thought experiments be damned, go try it and see.
