True.

Also true. For now.

Not true. First of all, it's a system and you can't get more authoritarian than a system.
Then are externalities called people. And people collude and cooperate and form factions. That's because they're people and that's what people do.
So while they don't have control directly, if they form a majority they will. The minority are free to vacate this virtuality if they don't like the new rules.
You see, BitWorld really isn't so different from the real world.
True.
