Brains Chased by Companies!🧠
#privacy #news #security #data
We have all seen those sci-fi movies in which people's brains are monitored or controlled by microchips. Now guess what?! Exactly, neurotechnology has become very real! Unsurprisingly, as the name suggests, it is a kind of technology that interacts with the user's brain and nervous system😐
Two kinds of neurotechnology exist: Invasive and non-invasive. The first is like implants, the latter is like wearable devices and gadgets. The invasive technology is often used for medical purposes, and the non-invasive devices have more general functions. Large companies such as Meta and Apple are trying to be pioneers in this, and Neuralink (a company owned by Elon Musk) has already produced a brain chip which you can use to literally play games in your mind! Somebody fetch me a glass of water, will you?🤯
Anyway, these technologies collect data about your mood, physical conditions, diseases, etc. Some experts are concerned that people's physical and mental data may be at risk here. Well, you know and I know, that they should not be blamed. A team of Canadian privacy experts reviewed the privacy terms and conditions of 30 companies that sell neurotechnology products. Believe it or not, all of those companies except one could access the data collected by their devices and sell them to third-parties. Imagine business owners knowing about your darkest interests💀 Nope, kidding! Or... maybe not?!
However, it is good to know that some countries, including Canada, USA, and Chile, are already taking action to pass data privacy laws for neurotechnology products.
My friends, wish you the privacy of mind and body! Yeah, weird times require weird wishes😁🌹
