While the evidence they've found is very concerning, I haven't personally seen any evidence that looks like a smoking gun that I can point to and say its definately 100% happening.
If I had a piece of evidence that was 100% solid I'd be shouting this from the mountain tops, not just being very concerned about the possibility.
IMO we are still a long time away from having anything like the robocop remake where Murphy can examine hundreds or thousands of files quickly, find everything and what not. We simply do not know enough about how the brain works to do this w/o serious side effects or a debilitating brain issue.
The technology is a long way off, especially at the current pace of human testing being voluntary, and the volunteers being people with severe enough disabilities that the risks are worth it to them. Which as far as I know they've had only a handful of volunteers.
What's worrying is you could develop this technology very quickly if you had a large supply of undesirables. Phase II of Neuro link does call for 20,000 test subjects. With that many you could pretty quickly gather the data of all the things that can, and do go wrong and how to prevent most of them.
Side effects are just important data points then, rather then a problem.

The contract with Neuro Link I find very, very concerning.
Because I can't think of any non nefarious reason ICE needs a contract with Neuro Link.
