The year is 2043, you are a 52 year old woman, director at a nice consultancy in the UK. You once had a snapchat affair with an American quarterback, your saucy videos started out as fun but they were leaked years ago, fortunately, nothing bad really happened.

 

Your employer gets bought out by a large multinational, part of the process of due diligence is that the entire management team is extensively researched, the big firm finds your saucy video and decides to offer you a rather insulting severance package as a result.

 

Could be worse, you could be the victim of revenge-porn.
