Raw LLM Responses

For anyone saying the US is the same, you are mentally unstable. In the US, if the government wants to surveil they hide it from you. And if the government and or tech companies want to collect all your data they do it in secrecy or seduce you into giving it up. In China they WANT you to know they're watching and collecting all your information. A technocracy only truly works when the citizens are willing or compliant participants. In the US you have freedom of speech and assembly. You can make fun of any government official and get away with it. Yes, the technocrats in the US, especially in Silicon Valley, would love nothing more than for the US to become China. But I wouldn't compare being kicked off of Facebook or YouTube for saying something Politically Incorrect to being effectively put on house arrest for criticizing Xijing Ping or having your children taking from you because you're a Uyghur Muslim and forced into an internment camp. Now there is a debate about whether some social media sites and apps are platforms or publishers. But the fact that we can even have that debate in the US is a clear indication that the US is not a technocracy. There is an active movement to push us in that direction for sure but there's still resistance here. In China virtually everyone save for a few pockets in the country has accepted it. Let me repeat - the US is not there yet!
