I consider it more like an opium crisis of the time

Where the whole population is addicted and governors risk their political career to ban the addiction, and then get their territory invaded by the corporations they kicked out who have returned with a foreign military and mercenary army, to push the addiction back on the populace



Cyberpunk meets opium wars...

Actually sounds like a not so bad setting for a book/game/movie ngl; sure sounds like a garbage setting for a world to actually live in.


All of the big "social media" companies support this type of legislation. No one is risking their political career doing exactly what tech companies want lol
