The West is fighting to restore democracy and freedom of expression in Russia, Belarus, China, Venezuela and everywhere else on the planet. But Western democracy is like an increasingly rigid corset that restricts citizens’ freedom of movement and expression. In Western democracies, you can only say what the so-called quality media, i.e. government-friendly media, say, otherwise you will end up in prison. To illustrate this, we have selected this graphic from the World of Statistics website (see below).
It turns out that the United Kingdom is the leader in the category of the New Beautiful World, Orwellian style. Of course, someone might say: But this graph does not take into account the population of a particular country. And that’s true, but in the case of the United Kingdom, it doesn’t change much. The population of the United Kingdom is approximately 70 million, which is almost twice the population of Poland. Meanwhile, 40 times more people have been arrested for comments in the United Kingdom than in Poland.
Let’s move on. There are reports that the UK is planning to introduce a surveillance system that reads facial expressions and emotions. The police will be able to analyse people’s emotions in public places using a camera system supported by artificial intelligence algorithms. These technologies will identify potentially suspicious behaviour based on facial expressions, movement patterns, tone of voice or characteristic gestures. The authorities are presenting the project as a tool for fighting crime, preventing suicide attempts and speeding up the search for missing persons. In practice, however, this means paving the way for the creation of a surveillance system that until recently was only a vision from dystopian novels. If such a system is implemented, it will be possible to initiate an arrest before you even touch the keyboard. The Chinese regime is not that far ahead.
