That’s expensive and takes work.
Not sure if you’ve seen a government lately, but something taking work isn’t how it works. What’s the blunt, immediate, let the lawyers sort it out version? That’s what will be done.
Let’s consider some post 9/11 style Abu Ghraib Prison scenario where captors try this instead of breaking someone with 24 hour music and waterboarding torture. This gets all your thoughts, right? OK, well all my thoughts at that time would be “F you, F you, you’re all liars, I don’t believe anything you say, F you, go jump in the ocean and get eaten by sharks, F you, F you…” You have to think the thing they want you to think for this to work. Anyone anticipating that might be what could happen if detained should know how to control their thoughts. Sing the same 3 songs over and over in your head. Repeat lines from your favorite movies. Think in another language. Name things you can see in the room and think through construction methods of the building. It will very, very quickly prove useless against anyone with even moderate willpower. A genuine sociopath would excel at using it to manipulate their jailers. If anything, the tables have turned and they’re forced to listen to everything you think - now you’re torturing them!
