I found two from my city. Kind of sickening to know that these creatures are in my vicinity

Now imagine the israelies come to your home and claim part of it. After you rightfully defend yourself they start to claim more of yours because not giving your home up makes you greedy? That doesn't make senese

Almost as if in ~bourgeoisie~ democracy other interest groups have more influence in policy making than normal voters

The courts very likely will strike something like this down, but the people responsible know this. Court dealings can take years and during this time our privacy gets violated ~~and some kind of profit is made~~.

And even when this law is declared illegal the existing data will likely be kept, only new collection is stopped (happened in Germany)

The problem is that calling them out on this behaviour is usually met with aggression...

Brits use tons and tonnes as separate units? Not confusing at all

  • Plot: The Quest
  • Hero: Selfless Healer
  • Villain: Shape-shifting Deceiver
  • Side character: Talented Craftsman
  • Wild card: Swordfights

Set ~150 years in the future, where humans gained the ability to augment their bodies with all kinds of implants. A middle-aged doctor decides to offer her services for free for people who need them, after she has seen the suffering that people cast aside by mega-corps have to bear. Noticing that many of her patients suffer from malfunctioning implants, that were practically forced on them by their workplace, so she contacts an old friend. This friend is sympathetic to her cause and offers their services as an electrical engineer specialized in designing interfaces between nerve systems and implants. Together they discover that these malfunctions are intentionally created, so corporations have another stream of revenue.

By helping the affected people, they slightly cut into the profit of a certain corporation, that sends a covert operative to check what is going on. After the doctor is "discovered", this operative gets the order to eliminate the thread to the corpo's profit. He decides to pose as a patient in need and assassinate the doctor, but fails for some reason. After that, he uses some kind of implant/tech to change his appearance to approach the doctor again (and uses swords, maybe?)
