the fact that we all know about this makes its missuse unlikely if not impossible. most corperations can be controlled with positive and negative profit control (think of what we did to intel when they tried to sell us pentium IIIs with active id number feature)
most responsible governments can be contolled in other ways. polls, petitions, protests, votes etc.
we demand that government protect us and prosecute criminals. if we technologically bust tham back to 1800's forensics and investigative tools they wont be able to do their jobs.
