I sometimes encounter situations in which I'm not sure whether to use simple present or present continuous, and sometimes I think both would be correct.
Here's an example:
The Cambodian government is refusing to improve working conditions and enforce local labor law.
or/and
The Cambodian government refuses to improve working conditions and enforce local labor law.
And another one:
Are they taking us for a ride? Because they are making us believe that we are rich and wealthy because we can buy a lot.
or/and
Do they take us for a ride? Because they make us believe that we are rich and wealthy because we can buy a lot.
And a third one:
Fast fashion is having a massive impact in developing countries.
or/and
Fast fashion has a massive impact in developing countries.
