How could the benefits of the complete violation of your privacy possibly outweigh the negative?
You're being narrow minded - don't you see the potential applications for medical uses? That's not good? Right now I'm sure many people who cannot adequately communicate verbally would have a lot to say if they could communicate using some sort of advanced technology such as this . . . in fact: they already use some forms of technology that do sense and respond to your brain activity to enable one to perform a function.
If abused or used the wrong way it can have some negatives. But that doesn't mean all potential applications thereof are bad or that it should be outrightly banned or feared.
If you think that the negatives of something are grounds for all the life-saving and liberating positives to be tossed out then you're being crass and ignorant.
There are countless things that have good and bad uses - we try to discourage and punish the bad and continue to enable or even defend the good. . . why should this be any different?
