Speaker describes digitally verified ID and its growth in China. In China, a traffic camera can catch you jaywalking, and the digital ID system has your blood, genetic code, and photograph, plus it can identify how you walk. So even without a visible face, you can be picked up by gate. It will convict you of jaywalking and take money out of your bank account with no intermediating judiciary at all and show a picture of you to the people in the neighborhood, so they know that you have jaywalked and reduce your social credit score. If your social credit score falls below a certain level, then you can't you can't buy drinks from a vending machine. You can't play video games. You can't go on a train. You can't get out of your fifteen minute city. All that's already in place in China. Do you think that that's that would be helpful or unhelpful? It would be I think it would bring in and has already in China. I think it'll bring in a totalitarian tyranny. So 100% complete that it would make George Orwell's 1984 look like a picnic.

In China, if caught jaywalking by a traffic camera, the digital ID system with your blood, genetic code, and photo can identify you by your walk. It convicts you, deducts money from your bank account, and publicly shames you, lowering your social credit score. A low score restricts buying drinks, playing games, riding trains, or leaving your city. This system is already in place in China.

Speaker 0: What about the public attitude held by millions of everyday Americans? All I've got on a computer is pictures of my family, CCTV cameras that are prevalent in a ton of American cities and overseas capitals. Those cameras are your friend if you're innocent and have nothing to hide. Speaker 1: Well, I'd say that's very much what the average Chinese citizen believed or perhaps even still to this day believes. But we see how these same technologies are being applied to create what they call the social credit system. If any of these family photos, if any of your activities online, if your purchases, if your associations, if your friends are in any way different from what the government or the powers that be of the moment would like them to be, you're no longer able to purchase train tickets. You're no longer able to board an airplane. You may not be able to get a passport. You may not be eligible for a job. You might not be able to work for the government. All of these things are increasingly being created and programmed and decided by algorithms, and those algorithms are fueled by precisely the innocent data that our devices are creating all of the time constantly, invisibly, quietly right now. Our devices are casting all of these records that we do not see being created, that in aggregate seem very innocent. Even if you can't see the content of these communications, the activity records, what the government calls metadata, which they argue they do not need a warrant to collect, tells the whole story. And these activity records are being created and shared and collected and intercepted constantly by companies and governments. And ultimately it means as they sell these, as they trade these, as they make their businesses on the backs of these records, what they are selling is not information, what they are selling is us. They're selling our future. They're selling our past. They are selling our history, our identity, and ultimately, they are stealing our power.

Terry, it's not the 1980s. These people will harm you. Please stop. I beg you. They will kill you.

Did you know actors in beer commercials can't actually drink the beer until filming is over? It's a common misconception. We have to wait until the scene is finished. The countdown is usually something like 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... then we can finally take a sip.

Don't trust, verify. In the future, with deepfakes and advanced technology, it will be hard to distinguish between what's real and fake. It's crucial to rely on your own experiences and intuition to navigate this era of manufactured content. Your devices are taking over tasks that used to strengthen your brain connections.

China's social credit system is using high-tech methods to crack down on low-level offenders like jaywalkers. Cameras record their actions, zoom in on their faces, and shame them on nearby video screens. This system goes beyond traditional credit scores, taking into account behaviors like jaywalking, smoking on trains, and excessive video game purchases. If your score drops too low, you can be banned from buying plane tickets, renting a house, or getting a loan. Over 15 million people have already been prevented from traveling. Chinese technology firms are developing advanced cameras that use AI to track everything, including people, bikes, cars, and buses. Police in Beijing wear glasses that recognize faces linked to the government's database. The fear is that this system could be used to punish those not loyal to the Communist Party, with no real due process to challenge it.

Use walkie talkie instead of calling. Note license plate number.

Don't sleep on the road, whether you're in your community or on tour. It's important to prioritize safety for ourselves and our fellow citizens. Cars can come along at any moment, so the road should be reserved for them, not for sleeping or playing. When it's dark, make sure you're visible to drivers. Bright clothing in white or yellow is recommended. Let's prioritize road safety and ensure we're doing our part. This message is authorized by the Northern Territory government.

Nobody cares about the trials and tribulations of your weak lives.

In China, a social credit score system is already in place, using facial recognition to monitor behavior like jaywalking and deduct money from accounts. This system can identify gender, estimate age, and even recognize car models. Implementation in Western nations could lead to invasive monitoring of personal habits and preferences, impacting individuals' social credit scores. This reality is already present in some places, highlighting the need for awareness and consideration of potential consequences.

I smacked my granddaughter for swearing and disrespecting her grandmother in public.

In the jungle of South America, it's common to see cattle randomly appearing even in lonely airports.

In China, there are 700 million cameras as part of a mass surveillance program. These cameras use facial recognition and body movements to identify individuals. They are linked to China's social credit system, where not following rules results in losing social credit points. This can lead to consequences like higher mortgage rates, taxes, slower internet, and expensive public transport. So, if you're in China, think twice before breaking any rules because you are being watched and will face consequences.

Do not try to. Do not try to. Do not try to. Do not try to. Do not try to.

I'm in Dubai at 1:30 AM, and I just walked to the supermarket for water because I'm really thirsty. The reason I feel comfortable doing this here is because I know I'm safe. Unlike in Europe and many parts of the US, where women can face danger when alone at night, here, the consequences for harassment or assault are severe, like deportation or jail. As a result, people respect personal boundaries, and you feel secure. I think there's something to be learned from this culture to make our streets safer for everyone.

In China, the social credit system tracks and scores citizens based on behavior. Good scores bring benefits like cheap loans, while bad scores lead to public shame and restrictions. Surveillance cameras and AI are used to monitor citizens, who can be penalized for littering or gossiping. The system will be nationwide soon, with few daring to criticize it for fear of a low score. This control raises concerns about privacy and freedom.

Joining the protest against COVID restrictions means breaking the law and facing serious consequences. Losing your license, getting a criminal record, and even hindering your job, livelihood, and international travel, including to the U.S. We acknowledge your frustration with COVID and safety measures, but it's time to go home now.

If you ask more questions or tell anyone about what you saw, there will be severe consequences for you.

Chinatown is safe to visit despite global tourism concerns. The city has taken precautions, and people are encouraged to come to Chinatown.

Don't send money to your family. I sent my mom money for three years to build my wealth here. I sent money every month, and sometimes weekly, totaling over two million pesos. She spent it all, only buying the land. I came to Mexico expecting to see my completed property, but my effort meant nothing. She didn't even buy materials. I just paid to have the overgrowth cleared. If you work abroad, don't send money to your family unless they are truly trustworthy. I trusted my mom, and this is how she repaid me. She spent it all and now won't answer my calls or messages. She even kicked me out of her house. My siblings don't want to see me either because they all spent my money. Don't send money to family; trust me.

Sit at the bar and drink straight, not deck away.

In China, there is a disturbing situation where I am unable to buy food. My uncle and cousin helped me get a cell phone linked to a Chinese bank card, but now it has been flagged. I have to go through facial recognition verification just to use my gift card balance on this debit card. It's terrifying to open my mouth for verification. Thankfully, the Chinese app is not racist, but unfortunately, I did not pass the verification.

Lawyer Chang Aija, a former school counselor, reposted a message on social media that cost her her job and home. The post was an apparent jab at China's president Xi Jinping. Chang Aija stated she was shocked that a few paragraphs got her into so much trouble. Police questioned her at her school, and days later, she was fired and forced to leave her school housing. She stated that it feels like a society with an emperor. She also noted that in other countries, people can criticize and even mock leaders.

I have lived in China and visited about 30 times. I believe that China does not necessarily need to be viewed as an adversary. Tim Waltz and his wife chose to get married on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre because she wanted a memorable date. For their honeymoon, they traveled to China.
