Kinda like how they threw that lady in jail in India based on brain scans. It wasn't remotely done, but that didn't matter.

Also, Davos 2016 had a discussion on all the "social justice" applications they could use brain scan technology on. Nevermind stuff like roughly reconstructing the movie you just watched. And, by now, they've had plenty of time to come up with more fun ways to apply this technology.
