Neuralink and Government Drones

There are two points of view on this particular issue: the people potentially being spied on and the people potentially doing the spying. As members of the first category our first instincts may be "I do not want this to happen (which is reasonable) therefore this is a valid concern."

Does this conclusion hold up to reasoned scrutiny though? To answer this first put yourself in the shoes of the people that actually get to decide whether this happens, which is the other category of people we mentioned before. The people potentially doing the spying. People in that position either care about your privacy or they don't. If they do, no worries. They are not going to try to violate your privacy... but if they don't care about your privacy then that means they care about something else. What goal could they care about that is helped by seeing the point of view of some bird on a completely random flight path?

Basically, random bird spying has the effect of breaching privacies at random, which is an effect that we consider negative and the potential spy does not consider negative if they don't care about your privacy. But for them to actually commit to such a project and it's costs requires that they get some positive benefit from it, they aren't going to implement any random idea they can think of just because there are no negatives for them. So what positive benefit is there for them here?
