They are directly affecting our minds’ (quoted in Evans, 2022). In this new neurotechnological age, which is characterized by a growing geopolitical neurobiological and Artificial Intelligence (AI) arms race (NSI, 2017a: 20), traditional concepts of war, security and peace are increasingly replaced by terms such as ‘cognitive warfare’ (NATO, 2021), ‘neurodeterrence’ (NSI, 2012: 50), and digital biosecurity” (Giordano and DiEuliis, 2021: 22).

David in a Third Circuit Court of Appeals case from 1970 that was presented in an effort at government disclosure: Congress passed the Freedom of Information Act in response to a persistent problem of legislators and citizens, the problem of obtaining adequate information to evaluate federal programs and formulate wise policies.

The touchstone of any proceedings under the Act must be the clear legislative intent to assure public access to all governmental records whose disclosure would not significantly harm specific governmental interests. The policy of the Act requires that the disclosure requirement be construed broadly, the exemptions narrowly. The public's need for information is especially great in the field of science and technology, for the growth of specialized scientific knowledge threatens to outstrip…
