🔒Fictional Story: Purity Protocol

The year is 2079, and the United States, once hailed as the beacon of democracy, has fallen under the grip of a powerful theocratic regime. The rise of the Moral Ascension Party had been slow but steady, fueled by years of increasing fear, economic instability, and the erosion of civil liberties. Using technology and divine rhetoric, the regime’s leaders promised a new era of “moral clarity” and “spiritual salvation” for the people, an era free from what they called the “unnatural behaviors” that had plagued society. Their target: the LGBTQ+ community, particularly gay men, who were seen as symbols of promiscuity and moral decay.

In their pursuit of a “pure” society, the government launched a program under the guise of social reform, known as Project Rebirth. This initiative offered every citizen a free, cutting-edge smartphone with unparalleled capabilities—AI integration, holographic displays, and personalized user interfaces. The phones were a symbol of the new government’s benevolence, a gift to usher in an era of connectivity, safety, and surveillance under the watchful eye of God.

What the people didn’t know was that this gift came with a hidden price.
