That's a slippery slope, when we remember that researchers are constantly looking for the right hooks that edge the 'persuasion' closer to entrapment. Doubly so when we consider neuroatypicals; While many people think of a 'seizure' as something that results in shaking movements/etc, There is a nonzero size of the population that can have seizures that are more 'internal'; the stimulus results in either a locking of focus on an item, or a sort of disoriented haze (at which point, for some, their subconscious is wide open.) Those who take the time to study hypnotism/NLP and are more wise than intelligent understand that we are playing with fire here folks.
