Demanding mental privacy will itself get labelled as a mental disorder by the people who misuse such information.

You’re right on this one. Great care must be in place before the data misuse, and “labeling” of people can happen.

I never had my right for mental privacy. People always invade in secrecy. All I had is denial and sweet old lies. I came to accept that freedom is a man made delusion. We will be always serving the laws of physics and nature.

I find it astonishing that we as people still need to agree to all of these legal policies when consuming products.
The companies should be agreeing to policies and we should just be able to consume the products without worrying about all of the terrible crap they could do with our private information.

We need to work harder on privacy rights. Before the bad compromised data is stolen and misused.

One thing I don’t get is: can you make a simple example of an instance where MY ( my individual brain data) can be misused against me?
One single example. Because I can’t think of any.

@Ango Nuts Your brain data, when combined with other personal information available online, could be used to create detailed psychological profiles without your knowledge or consent. These profiles could be used for various purposes, such as targeted manipulation, harassment, or even identity theft.

“If” AI could eventually track the electrical patterns of the brain, a person’s specific pattern could show mild schizophrenia or mental issues that a person doesn’t want anyone to know about. This information could keep a person from a job., or force then into treatment that is expensive and not needed. The examples at this point are endless.

Thankfully, our bodies have a good at of adapting to its surroundings. I believe the brain is still vastly more powerful and will devise a way to keep thought private even from those mind reading machines
