Unless your message is something like “Hey, Dad, I’m doing great!” it definitely won’t make it outside.

1.44 Transcript
Penny: Actually, I’ve been clean for one month today.
Darien: Show-off.
Kiro: So, what can you do here?
Darien: Oh, you can play games, look at your feed, the news, whatever- But your messages never make it to the outside.
Kiro: That’s so creepy…
Kiro’s a thief, not an addict. She should be out of here in 12 months (from today, since she entered the room today)
Unless her sentence was significantly more. She’s not an addict so her time is not tied to getting clean. Its tied to whatever time the judge sent her there for. I’m not sure we were ever told exactly how long she was to stay there.
This feels like one giant social experiment. Its hard to believe nobody has ever left. A year is a long time to go without electronics but surely the hope of going home would push someone to succeed….right?
Hey it’s vault tech. Was wondering how they got their start.
So what happened to the one who inevitable set up a spam operation on day one?
Uhm, if you allow internet you allow messages. Software can’t see if you’re navigating a news site or a webmail site. And how are you going to filter out team chat in games?
Sure, there are things you can try as an admin, but that’s a lot of work and a camp of internet addicts with a lot of free time on their hands are going to bypass it all.
Hmm, I was thinking about something like China’s firewall, but I guess even that has plenty of loopholes.
Eh, suspension of disbelief, I guess.
I wonder if anyone’s tried contacting a lawyer yet?
Maybe there’s a profanity filter, and it has such strict standards that no one has figured out how to bypass it yet.
Run a keylogger and cut off the connection if the user strays off a whitelist? Seems possible to me.
