Watch Dogs 2: 6 Important Social Observations 

6. Neoliberalism Needs To Go

Just like in the previous edition of the game, the protagonist aims to take down the Central Operating System (ctOS), this time implemented by the city of San Francisco. As the previous version failed in Chicago, ctOS 2.0 is supposed to be more efficient and harder to hack. The company responsible for its creation - Blume - needs to be taken down as well.

CtOS connects everyone to everything, providing the government with all the information about their interests and habits, of course unknowingly to the people concerned. During a cutscene you (the player) learn that:
