The Trump administration is considering a proposal that would use Google, Amazon and Apple to collect data on users who exhibit characteristics of mental illness that could lead to violent behavior, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
The proposal is part of an initiative to create a Health Advanced Research Projects Agency (HARPA), which would be located inside the Health and Human Services Department, the report notes, citing sources inside the administration. The new agency would have a separate budget and the president would be responsible for appointing its director.
HARPA would take after Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, which serves as the research arm for the Pentagon. The idea was first crafted in 2017 but has since gotten a renewed push after mass shootings killed 31 people in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, in August.
The Suzanne Wright Foundation approached the president recently and proposed the agency include a project called Stopping Aberrant Fatal Events by Helping Overcome Mental Extremes, or Safe Home, the report notes, citing two people familiar with the matter.
President Donald Trump has a close relationship with Bob Wright, who founded the foundation after his wife died of cancer. Wright was a former chair of NBC and occupied that position while the president hosted “The Apprentice.”
HARPA would develop “breakthrough technologies with high specificity and sensitivity for early diagnosis of neuropsychiatric violence,” according to a copy of the proposal. “A multi-modality solution, along with real-time data analytics, is needed to achieve such an accurate diagnosis.”

Another thing it would lead to is search warrants. Think about it. Report that a mental deficient might have a gun, and a search warrant would be used to check it out.
The potential is worse than anything in Science Fiction.
“If he is reelected he will either be ultra liberal or ultra conservative his last 4 years.”
After 2020 he will have much more flexibility to raise his trolling skills to level 12.
So you trust a group of doctors who have publicly committed themselves to taking your gun rights away to be honest?
Leftists with an agenda have never been so in the darkest history of the world. If you think your doctor would put your rights above his reimbursement.. you need to consider the historical role that medicine played in the most heinous crimes against innocents.
I am going to wait and see myself. If he does it, he does it. Then come November I will do what I have to do. I have had my leg pulled twice lately by the media so I do not believe or form an opinion on anything they say.
Amazing... None of those companies, nor the people running them are friends of Trump, or Trumpsters, nor anyone who loves freedom, regardless of who they want to run the government.
And anyone who utilizes them is a fool.
It’ll start out with firearms, but will soon be found to be valuable for lots of things (like China’s Social Score), and will also be ported into the incumbent party’s election database.
You’ll find doors opened or closed for you without knowing why. You may find your life to be difficult if you have a profile the Powers That Be find objectionable.
We’re moving out of the George Orwell future and into the Phillip K Dick future.
EXCELLENT way to become ‘Mr. Ex-President’ next year Mr.l Trump !
Naaaah!
Trump version of “rope-a-dope!”
Yep. I just picked up a Shadow Systems 9mm Elite. Company from Plano Texas.
Hm.
I don’t use those and don’t think I need them, yet the Constitution already lets me have a gun so, I don’t need the special beep boop additions to those rules.
Don’t worry,
I’ll let you
Have the Top Bunk.
OK
Suzanne Wright started a AIDS awareness group called "ACT UP" and another group that is similar called art collective Fierce Pussy
HARPA retweets DARPA a number of times and a number of gay rights groups and all kinds of lovely things. They also mention McCain a number of times

If this is a division of DARPA. Why is DARPA involved in health and human services?
That kind of stood out to me too.
No, Mr. President.
