But that's the ONLY difference. The rest is fairly comparable from the hallucinations of stuff that never happened, erasure of stuff that did happen from their data set memories, and completely entrusting due process and justice into a system that was fallible enough to be manipulated by a single bad actor.
Being a walking, talking advertisement for Scientology. They target celebrities because they know celebrities are great advertisements. People with parasocial relationships to celebrities are more likely to join Scientology, something which scientology exploits. It's why I've started trying to avoid any media that features prominent Scientologists; I don't want to support that kinda behavior. If they didn't try to exploit it then I wouldn't care too much, but the fact they're aware and try to exploit it makes me very uncomfortable.
Well yeah and yeah I get why you are avoiding media that doesn't have Scientologists (incidentally, fuck Hubbard and fuck Miscavige) but that's got to be a pretty small pool of film and TV considering the stranglehold they have on not just actors but directors, producers, executives, etc.
That's why I specified prominent Scientologists. It's really hard to avoid them entirely (unless you only watch non-US stuff), but it is possible to avoid people like Tom Cruise, Nancy Cartwright, John Travolta, etc.
