We do live in an era of increasing regulation and decreasing privacy. It might be worth pondering whether, with increases in Big Data and AI, it will be possible to identify which individuals are practicing magick where and, indeed, with what degree of success. Moreover, with brain/computer interface the coming thing, it might well be possible to exert a significant degree of control over what magick---if any---these individuals are able to practice.
So the question is how likely do you think any of this within, say, the next 25 years? What benefits, if any, do you see? The rationalizations for why it is "necessary" are easy to imagine (public safety, protecting children, that tired old two-step). Me, I think we're all well and truly fekked, but I am open to my mind being changed.
This could have gone in Politics and Economy, yes. It was a judgment call as to which was better. Since it is not clear whether magick can be monitored by secular means yet, I opted for this category.
