Given that its an electronic implant and not one of the "superpower that is a gift and a curse" sort of things, I'd imagine you can turn it off. Possibly by just thinking about it - maybe if it receives the thought "I don't want people reading my mind" you'll turn off the signal or something. I doubt this will be seeing human use anytime very soon but it's rad nonetheless. . Also yeah, I don't know why people are so fucked up that their first thought on hearing about brain-to-brain communication is "awesome, we could kill lotsa people with this" and not "great, now the deaf-mute can communicate."
