The content of my livestream was so explosive that viewers started sharing it everywhere, and the broadcast’s popularity skyrock-
eted.
Finally, a few official–looking accounts entered the chat.
Zenith Media Group: [This is slander. We will be suing you!]
I didn’t flinch. “Before you sue me, you should probably try shutting down my stream first.”

My smile widened. “Having trouble? Funny, isn’t it? My family happens to own about half of the media industry in this country. You want to play the access game? Let’s see whose clearance level is higher.”
My bold declaration was screen–recorded and spread like wildfire across other platforms. As they watched the situation spiral out of control, they scrambled to get the story taken down, to get my account banned, to silence me.

111111!!!”
The Agency: “…”
