Lately, I've been scrolling through my phone and seeing news about influencers getting arrested or sentenced. To put it simply, there's a new crackdown happening in the country against organized crime. Everyone knows that the streets are being monitored closely now. Those bullies who used to run rampant are long gone. If someone tried to set up a stall to collect protection money, they'd be behind bars in no time. Crime rates are so low that even thieves are struggling to find work. So, what are these people looking to make a quick buck supposed to do? They’ve just moved their operations online.
Take a look at those influencers who’ve fallen from grace. In their livestreams, they’re all loud and tough, trying to act like they’re part of some gang. Some of them parade around with a crew, making it look like they’re in control, but really, they’re just involved in extortion and online harassment. Since they can’t be bullies in real life anymore, they’ve turned to the cyber world, bringing all those shady street habits right to our screens.
Even at the local tea stalls, people occasionally chat about this. The truth is, whether online or offline, anyone using their phone to cause trouble is bound to get caught eventually. The local atmosphere has shifted; the internet isn’t a lawless zone anymore. No matter how tough they act on screen, when those handcuffs go on, all that bravado disappears.
