This is nothing new. Remember when the US pressured Sweden into taking down the pirate bay (Very unsuccessfully)? Using global influence to get countries to do something that they would not do on their own has always been the case.

Pretty successfully I would say. Armed police raided the server hosting provider scaring the shit out of some dudes who were just monitoring the power basically. And people went to prison.

Depends on your definition of successful. If the goal was to take down the website that didn't work as it was back online hours after and is online to this day even if the organization behind it probably changed.

And yet the pirate bay has stayed up and easy accessible to this day.

Let's not forget the Julian Assange extradition fiasco.

Or the murder of John McAfee, or Alaxendar Cazes

Very strange how people under indictment by the United States of America keep dying in custody.

You really think he got murdered?

To those in the know, it's not really uncommon knowledge.

Whenever you have control over somebody else's organism, suicide isn't something which makes sense definitionally, even if his own body was used to kill him.

You're welcome to look into what those around him said regarding his detention and death.

He is just a well-publicized example.

Many of you here have probably used darknet markets, if so, your vendors are likely neurocompromised as well.

What in the world are you talking about.

Much of the drug trade is ran less than consensually, as is common knowledge.

Often even people envolved aren't even aware these technologies are being utilized, to those who are, their position is often simple: you do what we say or we torture you, even in protective custody, as surgery isn't really practical.

There is a long history of militant and/or criminal (what's the difference) usage of adversarially designed brain-computer interfaces that you will not find documented.

Unless you have proper clearance or are involved with one of the parties propagating them, anyway.
