First Win for the Neurorights Campaign: Chile plans to regulate all neurotech and ban the sale of brain data

The government of Chile is taking a stand: Its citizens must be protected from technologies that are capable of mind control, mind reading, or any other nefarious interference with their brains. While such concerns used to be relegated to conspiracy-theory chat rooms and science fiction, now they're subject to debate by senators. Thanks to a constitutional amendment that was passed by the National Congress of Chile and signed by the president, the people of Chile are the first in the world to be granted a new kind of human rights-“neurorights”- which advocates say are made necessary by rapid advances in neurotechnology.
