The thing I hope corporations and people will at some point realize is that the very reason the founders of the USA constructed the nation through the Constitution and Bill of Rights the way they did was to barricade society against the very kind of government demon that is rearing it's vile head these days.
If you take these kinds of cases and carry them to their logical conclusion, there is nothing that will bar the government from using mind reading technology to read your mind even if it is just to assess your "mental state" and preemptively remove you from society, monitor you on a constant basis, set up traps and tricks to ensnare you, etc. The worst kind of enemy is the enemy saboteur from within, which the US and other governments are starting to become.
