With software to manage and maintain people's thoughts, send messages and stop them from committing crimes, a negative effect to the system has surfaced. There are no chip implants needed to be apart a psychic. It is simply a privilege they get for being human. Using the electromagnetic waves to pass messages from person to person has limited the need for verbal communication and has put an end to language barriers because the software can translate messages.

Wishing death on someone will cause it so many restrictions on what people can say has been made into law that is constantly monitored.
