What is stopping the following scenario: - This technology matures and becomes effective - In country X, 'Enemies of State' are forcibly implemented with a Neurlink?

There are much simpler and cheaper ways how to make enemies of the state miserable/under control.

I would worry more about creating an cyberpunk AI enhanced class of ubermensch, further dividing the society and driving inequality.

In A.C. Clake's 3001, everyone is wired with implants and instead of prison the implant will simply take you over and make you perform some laborious task until your sentence is served.
