Two things I like with NeoDB is that it is
1. licensed with the "AGPL-3.0" license
2. available on github at github.com/neodb-social/neodb

Now the problem becomes where do we begin to check this code out?

GitHub says these are the languages used:

Python 77.8%
HTML 17.9%
SCSS 2.1%
JavaScript 1.1%
Sass 0.9%
Dockerfile 0.1%
Other 0.1%

Anyway to reply to the surveillance topic, surveillance is a very serious issue and in China they got a "Social Credit System"

WHY YOU SHOULD PAY CASH

WHEN YOU PAY DIGITALLY MOST OF THE MONEY GOES TO THE BANKS NOT YOUR COMMUNITY!

"I copied this from someone else. Very interesting and it really made me stop and think about using cash more often.
I have really never thought of this has anyone else?
💲Please understand what NOT
using cash is doing.
Cash is important. 💸
Why should we pay cash everywhere we can
with banknotes instead of a credit card? 💳
- I have a $50 banknote in my pocket.
Going to a restaurant and paying for dinner with it. The restaurant owner then uses the bill to pay for the laundry. The laundry owner then uses the bill to pay the barber. The barber will then use the bill for shopping.
After an unlimited number of payments, it will still remain a $50, which has fulfilled its purpose to everyone who used it for payment and the bank has jumped dry from every cash payment transaction made...
- But if I come to a restaurant and pay digitally - Card, and bank fees for my payment transaction charged to the seller are 3%, so around $1.50 and so will the fee $1.50 for each further payment transaction or owner re laundry or payments of the owner of the laundry shop, or payments of the barber etc.....
Therefore, after 30 transactions, the initial $50 will remain only $5 😫 and the remaining $45 became the property of the bank 🏦 thanks to all digital transactions and fees.
Small businesses need your help and this is one way to help ourselves too. Pull small draws of cash out at a time and use that instead of tap, credit, etc.
When this is put into perspective, imagine what each retailer is paying on a monthly basis in fees at 3% per transaction through their POS machine.
If they have, for example, $50,000 in sales & 90% are by Card, they are paying $1500 in fees in ONE Month. $18,000 in a year! That comes out of their income every month.
That would go a long way to helping that small business provide for its family!🏦♥️" got this from a good friend"

It starts here for places not under authoritarian rule. Once everyone is accustomed to it, the next phase is to introduce the #SocialCreditSystem.

Remember how public #CCTV started? Only politicians were in favour of it at first. Years later, no one cared anymore.

Same strategy.

They are already expecting people will complain about this. But it is here to stay. And people will once again eventually just accept it and ignore it.

Then boom: #SocialCredit is here.

404 Media · AI Cameras Took Over One Small American Town. Now They're EverywhereHundreds of documents obtained by 404 Media show how Fusus, a system for linking a town’s security cameras into one central hub and adding AI to them, has spread across the country.

Während wir in Europa gegen die #Chatkonrolle und #Vorratsdatenspeicherung demonstrieren, herrscht in #China 1984 und es sind die gleichen Argumente FÜR #Überwachung zu hören, wie bei uns.

Sehr gute, beklemmende und persönliche Doku zum #Überwachungsstaat China und dem #SocialCreditSystem.

Eindrücke aus einem Land unter permanenter Überwachung. Ein Jahr lang filmte der Journalist Sébastien Le Belzic seine chinesische Frau Lulu in ihrem Alltag. Egal ob beim Überqueren einer Ampel, beim Buchen einer Bahnreise, beim Teekauf: Chinas Regierung ist immer dabei. Wer sich vorbildlich und normgerecht verhält, sammelt Punkte. Wer es in China auf 950 Punkte bringt, ist ein Musterbürger, dem viele Vergünstigungen winken. Wer unter 350 Punkte sinkt, wird sanktioniert. Hotel- und Reisebuchungen, Online-Käufe und Kreditwürdigkeit werden infrage gestellt. Ziel des Sozialkreditsystems ist laut Parteidokumenten "die Erschaffung einer harmonischen sozialistischen Gesellschaft". Wer den Einfluss von Big Data auf das Privatleben anprangert, wie der Künstler Deng Yufeng, muss mit Inhaftierung rechnen. "Big Brother per App" ist ein bisweilen bizarres, beängstigendes Porträt eines Landes im Kontroll- und Optimierungswahn.
