No, suposed to be a Faraday Cage. Jokes apart, reading thoughts is currently possible, but only connected directly with a device, similar to an EEG, at a PC and only quotient thoughts in the area of speech. This is used for example for paralyzed people, to allow them to write with thought i8n a PC or to handle some device.
Since this must be calibrated individually, so that the computer can interpret the brain waves correctly, in addition to a previous training of the connected person, it is not possible to apply it to a global system and even less at a distance, which is absolute nonsense.

While the underlying concept is good, the typical foil helmet fails in design and execution. An effective Faraday cage fully encloses whatever it's shielding, but a helmet that doesn't fully cover the head doesn't fully protect it.
In 2005, a group of MIT students, prodded by "a desire to play with some expensive equipment," tested the effectiveness of foil helmets at blocking various radio frequencies.
The helmets shielded their wearers from radio waves over most of the tested spectrum (YouTube user Mrfixitrick likewise demonstrates the blocking power of his foil toque against his wireless modem) but, surprisingly, amplified certain frequencies: those in the 2.6 Ghz ( allocated for mobile communications and broadcast satellites) and 1.2 Ghz (allocated for aeronautical radionavigation and space-to-Earth and space-to-space satellites) bands.

2.6 Ghz and 1.2 Ghz frequencies have a wavelength and half-wavelength of ~10cm respectively: that's about the size of a head. The EM waves probably gets amplified in the same way as the phenomenon that turns grapes in the microwave into plasma.

Remote neural monitoring is a red herring when talking about mass mind control, IMO, diverting attention and resistance from real issues, like psychographics as used by facebook.

Or that any supermarket practices when placing items strategically. But psychological tricks and profiling of users on Facebook, based on their personal data and their contributions, the result of tracking them on the web to see which pages they visit. It has to do with manipulation, using the data obtained, but nothing with mental control. It is simply the result that someone who watches all your steps on the web gets, in the end they know more about you than yourself.

Is that really a meaningful distinction when the mental manipulation is powerful enough to incite genocides?
'You are detained, you have the right to remain silent, since everything you THINK can be used against you'
I'd view police tracking people's social media as fairly close to that. I'm not sure we give facebook enough credit for what they manage to do in that regard.

True, mass manipulation is used since centuries. Best example are religions and it's use, but I don't know if it is the same as the theme in this threat. Manipulation with psycologic tricks and/or lies and interested misinformation in the massmedia can manipulate public opinions, but this has nothing to do with mental control or mentalreading by some radiations.
PS. Facebook is the devil but Reddit is worse. Reddit sell user data to Google (Alphabet.inc, and NEST) and worse, to TowerData, which use, among others, keylogging, to get the identity (real name, mail, house) of the users, and apart sell the data obtained to Facebook. Reddit include a ring of real spyware. Because of this, I prefer Raddle and Lemmy. Reddit only with VPN, all protections, closed webcam, latex gloves and mask
List of tracking services conected and interconected in Reddit
Alphabet.inc
and
Nest are advertising companies from Google which use several tracking systems
TowerData.com>keylogger>Alphabet.Inc>Facebook>Linkedin>Microsoft
rlcdn.com Unknown, no acces to the web
Linkedin>Adobe>Alphabet.inc>ComScore>Facebook>Microsoft
Microsoft Audience Network>Adobe>Lotame>MediaMath>Quantcast>Verizone>Zeta Global>TowerData
Facebook Blocks analysis, but it use known tracking tecnics (pixel tracking, WebRTC, Header.....), apart from the data it recieved from the "Partners".
Google analytics
From thereare to others which nobody knows. That is, half of all companies in the web knows you, when you enter in Reddit.
