Because there is 0 chance these companies don’t force ads into our brains or require us to pay subscriptions not mentioned before the implant was put in but may harm our brain if we don’t pay. Europeans will maybe be safe from that due to consumer protection laws but we Americans are fucked.
This seems like a policy problem and not a tech problem.
It always has been a policy problem. You’ve got your head in the sand if you think tech could be great if only people/corporations can just be made to be nice. Wake the f* up. People and corporations will use technology to exploit people. Not all of them, but enough of them to ruin it for everyone else.
This is where we disagree

Do you really think policy matters when there’s a profit incentive?
Yes, absolutely. Look at the current insane level of protectionism.
Sorry, the support for my bionic eyes must have been dropped. Where is this insane protectionism?
Do you not recall the literal trade war we were in before COVID?
Theres still onsistently high tariffs on imported goods, and the US government is even considering banning the sale of US steel to Nippon
Oh gotcha, I thought you meant consumer protection laws. Not international trade. My bad for not catching that
