Schaub Claims Social Credit System and Digital Kill Switches Coming to America
Joe Rogan Experience
#2498 - Brendan Schaub
"If they can attach your social credit score with this digital currency, then you have what they have in China. So in China, if you fuck up and you do something stupid, guess what, fuckface? You can't buy a plane ticket."
Brendan Schaub and Joe Rogan discussed federal legislation requiring kill switches in 2027 model year vehicles, ostensibly for preventing impaired driving. Schaub warned this technology could evolve into a Chinese-style social credit system where the government can shut down your vehicle based on social media activity or political speech. They cited recent laws in the UK arresting citizens for social media posts as evidence of where such systems lead.
