Would partner with Big Tech to use spy data from Amazon, Google and Apple.
The Trump administration is considering launching a social credit score-style system in coordination with Big Tech that would use spy data collected from Amazon, Google and Apple devices to determine whether or not an individual can own a gun.
“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,” reports the Daily Caller. “The new agency would have a separate budget and the president would be responsible for appointing its director.”
HARPA would employ “breakthrough technologies with high specificity and sensitivity for early diagnosis of neuropsychiatric violence,” including Apple Watches, Amazon Echo and Google Home.
In other words, data collected from devices that spy on private conversations and closely monitor user behavior would be used to strip Americans of their fundamental rights.
“Though the proposal is starting as a voluntary data collection scheme allegedly aimed at finding warning signs of mental illness, we all know so-called “voluntary” government programs often become mandatory at the drop of a hat,” comments Chris Menahan.
According to the Washington Post, Trump has reacted “very positively” to the idea.
The full scope of the program is chilling and would provide Big Tech with an easy excuse to formally impose the total neuro-surveillance of citizens via their smart phone and home assistant devices, something that has already been occurring surreptitiously for years.
One wonders if Trump has any idea of the slippery slope this would entail, or whether he was sold on the idea because Ivanka cried.
The proposal bears some similarities to Communist China’s social credit score system, where citizens’ behavior is tightly surveilled and then met with rewards or punishments.

Gosh... i thought i would make it in before the name calling started flying.
Are you saying you give trump or anyone else your 2A right. He already took bumpstocks and that didnt stop the killing.
What happens after this agency doesnt stop the killing?
You aound like you are in with the gun grabbers... all of them.
It will be used for search warrants for "suspicion of unauthorized gun ownership". At some point, everyone in an opposition political movement will be declared too crazy to own a gun. A "Catch 22" will follow: they'll say anyone who wants a gun is too crazy to own one.
It's the Brave New World, and I don't much care for where it's going.
Yep WP trying to separate Trump from his supporters again is all:-)
Fake, fake newd
I figure just being a registered republican will torpedoe your chances of any civil rights or God-given rights.
Sounds like both. But there's a big BUT...if President Trump does support anti-second amendment policies, that raises questions among the freedom loving conservatives. This could be disinfo spread to cause dissension among the conservative ranks by the lyin' enemdia, though.
Maybe we can get Rush, Hannity or Tucker to ask him flat out.
Would cost him my vote if the democrats weren’t so batshit crazy.Don’t think DJT is that crazy-suspect highly this is fake news.
Anyone who is judged to be incapable of responsibly owning a gun, should also be denied the right to vote.

Uh huh.
Suuurrrreeee.
Good analysis.
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.”

How many points for Tin Foil Hat?
A lot of things can happen in five years.
Are you a Democrat?
If yes, Social Credit Score is -1.
Red Flag this person.
I guess you have been under that ‘spirit’ of slumber these past two decades.
Pretty sure that disqualifies us.
