...and all of that will be illegal hacks to the official form of the tech, which is supposed to show what the content pushers intended you to see.
The right to run ad-blockers, which would, in passing, enable content alteration like you suggest, would be something we'd actually have to fight for.
Most people wouldn't understand, and would be stuck in a world where they can no longer control what they see or hear, or how what they see or hear gets changed before their brain is allowed to perceive it.
There will be a person on the street corner crying out that the world isn't real... but only the people running hacks and filters will hear her.
I love those science fiction stories where everything is shiny and all the tech is amazing and just works. But, there's no future I can see that goes from here to there.
