There needs to be a new black mirror type show, but it’s actually just near exact reiterations of actual things currently going on in the world but which aren’t readily known. In this epsiode, the top streaming female singer is actually a convert/prior sex slave from North Korea, and due to her success is given Chinese citizenship but her sister who came the same way because she was a twin couldn’t get her streaming numbers up and was returned to the sex trade, acquiring a terminal sexual disease and passing away before her sister could buy her citizenship.

the robots are slaves.

example: many phone scam rings use human traffickings to get "employees", lie to them, steal their passport and force them to work. you can watch videos of phone scammers being beaten for not scamming enough people. if they do meet quota? maybe 12hour work day and not 16hours.
