Some scientists found indisputable evidence that the universe is all just a simulation. Maybe they found the code that is running the simulation (I don't know how) and then they demonstrated its genuineness by editing it and changing something, like making a chair a disappear. They don't use it for bad or good after this. Anyway, I was wondering how society would react to this? How would the government keep control?
They'd probably react the way Neo did in the Matrix - 100% denial while the rest of society wouldn't be the wiser.
