A criminal commits a crime, but does not remember it. A protestor walking the streets suddenly forgets why they are protesting. Technological advances, while not nearly this advanced yet, put us closer and closer to gaining a true understanding of the human brain, and more importantly, controlling it
When we eventually do gain this power to control memories, though, governments should not be the ones in control because it threatens identity, enables abuse of power, and redefines humanity
Hot take: if you need this explained to you, the government being in your head is probably an improvement over the squirrel’s nest currently residing there.

That's one of many technologies they shouldn't control. The argument should be that they not get involved in knowledge at all
