I thought about this a while back.

Virtual reality is still reality. The early internet that we experienced in 90s felt so different from real world, because it was a new media and real world powers had not yet expand their influence into it yet, but eventually they will. Censorship, speech control, propaganda, commercialization, etc and etc, everything will be there. To the point the new media/platform/reality becomes no different from outside world.

People are excited about VR technology recently. I am not. It would be the same damn story again.
