    I guess UK and US governments viewed Minority Report as something to strive for rather than a cautionary tale?

      First the US isn’t mentioned in this article. Second this is NOTHING like Minority Report. Your comment is dumber than a bucket of hair.

      If it does happen the company has no one to blame but themselves, because when you abuse people like this there will be a backlash, it’s to be expected

      That’s a possible life sentence if you get caught. Assuming there’s even a single person in the building.
