Thinking about any unintended consequences is always good. I also agree that a 'rug pull' in general terms is not a good thing, however; since we are talking about the privacy of the consumer and turning said privacy into a consumer right, I don't think there will be a lot of negative consequences. The companies are going to complain but they do that no matter what.
Personally I think, any company that solely relies on selling user data as revenue stream deserves to go down.
Bro we can advertise without breaching of privacy.
I'd pick one or two obviously bad guys, the rumoured / infamous necromancer said to live somewhere in the borderlands in a swampy place. Potentially a former battle field where there was some calamity wiping out both armies. The calamity was brought by the city in question. He survived the onslaught and swore revenge.
Maybe a misguided(?) protector of the forest, the town gets rich by exploiting the nearby hills and mountains for their natural resources and they back and slash away at the ancient forest to fuel the mines.
A local noble, was ousted from the city council, had titles revoked and is forced to live in exile. Maybe the noble deserved it maybe not, maybe the Nobel was framed for committing treason, since everyone thinks they are a traitor they might as well show the city what they could really do.
I would not make them all obviously bad guys that gives it more mystery.
Biffa, he plays cities skylines and it's super relaxing
After reading all answers I can confidently say I am now more confused than ever.
They are so lost, such a shame…
But he can’t have less than 12 fingers tho.
Yeah not obvious to me at all. I came to the comments to get enlightened because I did not get the joke.
