also on the topic of data ports/personal links:

- we see in the edgerunners show a character stealing shards out of people’s ports, so i’d imagine that covers for your ports would be a big thing in cyberpunk but may be regarded as a slightly excessive bit of personal protection just due to how *many* people have data ports. (the kinda thing where like- putting a lock on your bags when you’re in public is a good idea, but not everyone does it because who would steal from *them* or what are the chances someone would take *my* bag)

- V was also originally hesitant to jack into Sandra Dorsett, even though T-Bug told him to, along with Judy being apprehensive to the idea of T-Bug jacking into V and watching the brain dance from their eyes, which implies it *is* a very intimate/personal thing to have someone jack into your link (which only ups the stakes/sense of violation of the Militech dude jacking into V to tell if they’re lying or not if you go to see the Militech lady)

- plus, since V has two data ports (whore behavior), one of them being where *Johnny* is located, I can see their neck becoming an especially intimate area for them, more and more so over time due to Johnny’s presence there. because you’re not just touching V’s neck, that’s where Johnny is, where his chip and engram are, and because he’s only inside V’s mind and on the shard, he’s vulnerable. no touchy my neck that’s where my rockerboy is

short circuited at the idea of v being extra skittish about their data ports because of the relic/johnny's presence there. i am so . so normal about that. thank u for this food i think u rlly nailed it when u likened it to people using locks on their bags, i believe most night citizens would think it's a lot of hassle to plug into someone's ports just to, what, upload a virus? a process that the person they're assaulting could physically interrupt at any time? so they just don't bother with it, not to mention the cultural taboos surrounding the very idea.

there is one very good piece of cyberpunk concept art floating around out there where an ncpd officer is hooked up to a ganger (?) and it's really fucking cold and scary because like you said it's an incredibly invasive form of a lie detector test. like the ganger is shrunken and they're not necessarily hurt but you can tell they don't fucking like being plugged into against their will
