The first-in-the-nation law in Colorado includes biological or brain data in the State Privacy Act, similar to fingerprints if the data is being used to identify people.

      It would be good that shit works for that but I don’t think so… let’s see what happens when the NSA have access to your thoughts.

      Edit: I think they will apply the “if you didn’t hide anything then there is nothing to worry about” discourse.

          I believe it should work with some kind of brain waves(telepathy?), apparently some kind of device you put in your head and it read information from your brain, the spooky question would be if there is a way to make a device like that to be able to read information from someone’s brain remotely. IDK this looks like a bad idea but anyway it’s already here, according to the information I believe there will be more places where law get updated about it.

          Edit: maybe it could be used for interrogation also, I mean you could know if someone it’s saying the truth or not by reading their brain.

            Kinda like how they threw that lady in jail in India based on brain scans. It wasn’t remotely done, but that didn’t matter.

            Also, Davos 2016 had a discussion on all the “social justice” applications they could use brain scan technology on. Nevermind stuff like roughly reconstructing the movie you just watched. And, by now, they’ve had plenty of time to come up with more fun ways to apply this technology.

    This has to be the most dystopian thing I’ve ever read. If the rich and the elites have the power to read our thoughts (outside of a lab) with 80-90% accuracy, I genuinely don’t know what the point of living will be. Our eternal enslavement will be completed, they could control our emotions, desires and needs, we would literally become animals.

    You’re going to have to drag my corpse into a lab to put any neuro any-fucking-thing in or on my head.
