That's great, but why shouldn't this be extended to computer displays? If we're going to acknowledge determinism, and that people's behaviors can be steered by triggers and feedback cycled through both ads and browsing activity orchestrated in tandem, why should this form of assault be legal if it has the same effect as intrusively injecting neurotransmitters into a victims brain physically?
