In reply to the iamnotdang comment below, which I don't seem to be able to comment on directly: There is sarcasm here, which is perhaps what you're referring to. But I'd argue here it's a form of satire which is also (slightly) informative. The reader doesn't have to work very hard to realise the argument being made that this is another greasing of the slippery slope we're on to Black Mirror style immersive surveillance capitalism. Perhaps we should make that point explicitly: It's a concern that US based mega corps will have access to data about mental states at population scale, and that would provide significant power to them for both good and potential ill.
