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.

How Chinese of them. I really hope someone in the administration was just having a stream-of-consciousness moment. This would be an election-losing move here.
That you might think this is remotely true is really...forked up. LoL
Oh, FUUUUUUUUUCK no!
A person’s rights are not determined by how some algorithm structured by ANYONE - let alone in consultation with the government - rates them.
Would ANYONE buy that for freedom of speech, association or religion (well, anyone sane, that is)? No, of course not. So it doesn’t apply to the RKBA.
I repeat:
FUUUUUUUUCK no!!!!!
“According to the Washington Post, ”
So much FAKE NEWS, so little time...
Sounds unconstitutional.....
Someone in the administration might support that. It’s meaningless if POTUS himself does not.
Who’s gonna fight it when people won’t even get off their asses to vote? No CW2, just a very different country.
Yup. I have negatives
I read this as total BS put out there by those who want the gun owners to believe that Trump is acting like China now.
There is no way this is real or true.
This is false news and lies.
It does sound like a trial balloon, or was deliberately put out there to create uncertainty. It might have been some entity on the left that is trying to drive a wedge between Trump and his supporters.
One idea is that Trump knows the the left will jump on this idea as a good one, and that will push them far outside the mainstream. He can let it percolate for a while then slap the left down for wanting to turn the USA into China and set himself up as a defender of civil liberties.
More Communism from Commie TwitterMan
Trump=Communism
Bahahahahahahahahaha you typed all that with a straight face seriously?
Don’t worry Bitman, it’s been a question of when for a real long time.
“According to the Washington Post”
FAKE NEWS
Your post is slightly misleading...The initiative is reported by Daily Caller, the Post reported trump reacted “very positively” Note from the article:
“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.
According to the Washington Post, Trump has reacted “very positively” to the idea.
Maybe instead of labeling upsetting news as “FAKE NEWS,” might be wiser to send an email to the White House just to make sure Trump understands the sentiments of Second Amendment Supporters...

Is there another political party out there I can join that believes in individual liberty, limited government and an unfettered life?
