"In other news, China and Iran are thrilled at this new science."

Why? Are they having problems with people imagining politically undesirable images?

I would think the West, with its insane war to protect the cartoon children, would have more use for such technology.

I wouldn't claim the West lacks political repression but it seems obvious that any repressive states would love have such technology. Your argument seems to discount this.
