The existence of the US government's looking into such a program or even having a small version of it isn't surprising.

What would be interesting in a bad way would be if the US government was using it at anywhere near the scale of the Chinese government.

The irony of the thread is that the fundamental debate is about if such a forum should be allowed to exist without government mediation and control.
