What about people who choose not to use Facebook? "Why aren't they on Facebook? What have they got to hide that they're not on Facebook? Why don't they have Alexa or Siri in their homes? Why don't they own a smartphone?"



I could see this slowly becoming something akin to your credit score. The more social media you use and have never said anything questionable on or around, the higher that index is for your name/number. The more "flagged" words or phrases you type in or say around listening devices over the course of your life the lower the index goes. Those under a certain number are blocked from owning a firearm. (And I'm sure this could be carried over to many other seemingly innocuous things once the system is installed).

Those who avoid all of these things are "unknowns". They basically have "unknown credit" and will not be able to purchase a firearm until they voluntarily submit to a rigorous psychological and background check, or they give in and surround themselves with big brother for a few years and "build their credit".



Strange and scary times we're living in man.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Were you born in Chicago? Cuba? Russia? Your insistence on foisting Big Brother upon us is what's scary.
