Cool or Creepy? The Social Connectedness Index

[Kurt]

I say both. I would like to be able to search the SCI by my zip code - don't you?

The Social Connectedness Index measures the strength of connectedness between two geographic areas as represented by Facebook friendship ties. These connections can reveal important insights about economic opportunities, social mobility, trade and more.
Social Connectedness Index - Facebook Data for Good

Friendship Data
The Social Connectedness Index offers a new type of data to the research and non-profit community, measuring the frequency and density of friendship and social ties around the world, a type of data that has rarely been made available to those interested in understanding how relationships affect social outcomes.

Global Reach
With 2.45 billion active users globally, the Social Connectedness Index from Facebook provides the first comprehensive measure of social networks at an international level.

Of course it is creepy. Just another part of In-Q-Tel (google it ) funded Facebook. The technocratic coup d’etat has begun. Contact tracing is already built into the next iOS update. America is hanging by a thread...

If you are so techno-paranoiac why don't you just op out? Pull the plug on your devices and you are doing all of us, and yourself, a favor.

Kurt asked a question. Started a discussion. I contributed facts and opinion. Do you even know what technocracy is??? What good would it do to disconnect when your types are are assembling the modern day brown shirts to run around and test and quarantine everyone for Covid 1984? Go find Yuri Besmanov, former KGB propaganda agent’s interview. They call people like you and the friendly censors running Facebook, YouTube, Sowal, “useful idiots”.

The brown shirts are the ones in the Michigan capitol building in fatigues with guns.

And this requires weapons? Kids as young as five are forced to endure the drama of active shooter drills to protect the rights of these dickless losers, but their fat snowflake asses are too fragile to sit and watch tv for a few months to help curb an global epidemic. No sacrifice is too small to cause these pricks to start bitchin and moaning about how, “it’s too hard on me.”

Anyone who cheers an armed militia storming the halls of a capitol during a pandemic crisis is not welcome here.
