So your policy is in effect "Let us oppress the many to protect the few." Alright, then.

  As I said in my previous comment, it's only oppression when implemented as such. Technology is a tool, the one who wields it bears the moral responsibility to use it correctly. Address the root causes of systemic oppression in your country and systems like this have potential to do tremendous good.

    This is like tying up a zombie and hoping it doesn't get loose. Well, as long as the handcuffs are secure "we'll be fine!". It always bites you in the end. Power corrupts, remember? Best to limit it.

      You do realize we have thousands of nuclear weapons right?

        They've been used and will be again ... there's a reason we have so much media exploring that fear in fiction, a reason so many fallout shelters were built, a reason we derailed Iran's nuclear program. It's a big risk, and it's going to go really badly for us all one day, or at least that is as likely as peace is. So, what's your point?

          They are a reality and have arguably saved more lives than they have taken. We have systems in place to prevent their abuse and despite our personal dislike of them they serve purpose. If we have learned to be judicious and cautious with their use I am confident we can handle something like an ai driven social monitoring program. We trust our governments with the greatest destructive capability ever devised, what I am proposing is a far smaller threat.
