* An episode of ''Series/TheOrville'' deals with a world much like early 21st century Earth, with a social network called the Master Feed taking over all aspects of life, including legislation and the justice system. Everything becomes about upvotes and downvotes. Whenever someone accumulates a million downvotes, whether they have committed a heinous crime or just a harmless faux pas, they're arrested and have to do an Apology Tour, which involves appearing on various talk shows in order to try to convince the public they were wrong. If by the end of the set time they avoid accumulating ten million downvotes, they're freed. Otherwise, they are sentenced to undergo "social correction", which is basically the local equivalent to a lobotomy. A later episode reveals that things have gotten far worse on the planet, with everyone afraid of doing or saying the wrong thing, which is clearly a jab at cancel culture.
