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.
