Has Privacy been eroded and is effectively gone?

[Caute_cautim]

Hi All

Is Privacy actually now been or about to be severely eroded, that we no longer have control of who, what or when someone potentially accesses our previously shielded brains?  Has technology been created that no longer provides us individual defense?

How would this affect CEO's of large corporate organisations?

Have a read, and see what you think?

Can we protect ourselves from attacks?  Indeed but how, I can see the Insurance Providers wanting this ability or perhaps a little brain washing will occur - thinking of North Korea for instance?

Could we protect ourselves from such attacks?  Or is the Russian research into Psychic abilities or long range searching really not so far fetched, as we once thought?

A couple of older quotes:

“The privacy you’re concerned about is largely an illusion. All you have to give up is your illusions, not any of your privacy.”
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison in 2001 http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/oct2001/nf2001104_7412.htm

“You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it.”
SUN Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy in 1999.

The Future of Privacy and Neurotechnology 

"Brain-computer interfaces are a promising emerging technology with the potential to transform healthcare, education, entertainment, and more. But as neurotechnology matures, policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders must proactively address challenging questions about the risks it poses to privacy and ensure they are equipped to understand this disruptive technology. Join the IBM Policy Lab and the Future of Privacy Forum for a conversation about how new policy approaches can be used to mitigate the privacy risks of neurotechnology."  November 15 2021  1100 AM
