Reply to comment by the_simurgh in Alabama Democrats want to ban employers from forcing workers to get microchipped by thatguygreg

Allowing WHAT exactly??

“Chestnut said he wasn't aware of any Alabama companies that have tried to require microchips, but he got the idea after reading about a company in Wisconsin that offered the devices for employees.”

The author got the idea off some article he “read” and said “gosh, what if they FORCED folks next?!” There’s no risk.

if you think it takes actual attempts to enrage the evangelical right then sir you do not understand the evangelical right at all.

I mean, reading about something new and then being like "hmmm this could be misused in a way I dont think is illegal enough yet, lets get ahead of that" isn't exactly bad especially when its often complained that technology too often outpaces the legal systems ability to protect people.

There are absolutely companies using RFID chips in employees. To my knowledge it’s voluntary in the US (link to the example he read. Or “read”?) but I believe there is a European company that tried to mandate it. I’ll try to look it up.

I’m unsure why you’re doubting the risk of this? I could totally see a tech company like Tesla making this a thing.
