    There is no “adequate safeguards” in such technology. If it’s out there somehow, it will get abused if there’s a reason for it. That’s like a universal law. A product with such potential to be abused, will be abused, no matter what smart super solution for protection someone might come up with.

    Not to say it wouldn’t be a lifechanger for your gf or other people with a legitimate reason.
