Why stop there? How about a social credit rating - we can use the digital vaccine passports as baseline existing infrastructure and build on top of that. Then we can really punish the ones who refuse to comply. /s
- Taniwha 5y agoBut this isn't a social credit rating, they're asking that people criminally convicted through due process be put on this list, much like the lsts states maintain for people convicted of sex offences, I assume that airlines will be able to decide whether or not to sell tickets to these people much as people can choose whether or not they want to move in next door to a sex offender
- engineer_22 5y agoSex offenders and obstinate passengers are a curious comparison.
- Taniwha 5y agoIt's the lists that I'm comparing not the passengers themselves - the point is that putting someone, after conviction, on an appropriate public list that 3rd parties can use to decide whether or not to buy a house next door to a person or to sell a plane ticket to someone - is a way to apply public policy. It's a mechanism that has already been tried elsewhere, it's not a new idea

It always fascinates me how people don't draw pause from how eagerly people seem to be to shluff people into the "non-person" bin in ideological discussion.
