America will completely fail to regulate this as it always does. Soon enough advertisers and credit agencies will be reading your thoughts.

Why? Because it’s a gold mine for some individuals willing to throw $5000 at a few dozen politicians reelection campaigns. Public interest be damned.

I don't think they were calling the other user a tinfoil-hat wearer.

I think they were (joking) suggesting it as a solution to the problem of advertisers reading out brainwaves.
