As expected, the mere act of tracking and publicly sharing the data causes crime rates to plummet, and the town revels in what appears to be newfound peace—just as Hawthorne’s theories would predict. Twist: The illusion shatters when @Josh the journalist uncovers a sinister truth: @Arnold the mayor has been manipulating The Watcher to silence his adversaries and protect his allies. Definitions of crimes have been quietly altered, with real infractions erased to cover up corruption. As people learn how to game the system, the perfect order unravels into chaos. Goodhart's law strikes again—what was once a measure of justice becomes its most dangerous weapon.
