No, no, no. Hell, no!
That’s my response to the latest trial balloon floated by the White House to join with Silicon Valley on a creepy program monitoring Americans’ “neurobehavioral signs” to (purportedly) prevent gun violence.
President Donald Trump’s old friend, former NBC head Bob Wright, has been pushing an Orwellian surveillance scheme called “Safe Home” — “Stopping Aberrant Fatal Events by Helping Overcome Mental Extremes” — that would cost taxpayers between $40 million and $60 million. The Washington Post, owned by Amazon billionaire founder Jeff Bezos, reports that the plan could incorporate “Apple Watches, Fitbits, Amazon Echo and Google Home,” as well as ” fMRIs, tractography and image analysis.”
Here’s the big lie: Wright’s group promises that privacy will be “safeguarded,” profiling “avoided” and data protection capabilities a “cornerstone of this effort.”
There’s so much bullcrap packed in that statement it should be banned as a global warming pollutant. Anything involving Google should trigger automatic danger warnings of invasive data mining. We do not need the federal government partnering with Google to red-flag citizens. We need the federal government to red-flag Google.

“Anything involving Google should trigger automatic danger warnings of invasive data mining.”
Indeed, they just rolled out a new anti plagiarism service for schools, mines all documents, mail, etc for copied school work.
No sale.
just want to say....killthemachines.
Proof that the democrat scum see abortion as set apart from and superior to any Constitutional right because it's their sacrament of human sacrifice to honor Satan who they worship.

For now, teach your kids how to use other search engines, enable anonymous searching and break their searches up into less likely trigger keywords. Switch between the privacy-enabled search engines with portions of the question. Use books available at the public library. Go back to using encyclopedias.
They cannot flag every word in every language.
And the plagiarism engines are already in use, AFAIK.
Have you already prepared a list of what we should have to do in order to get the most mileage from our electric cars between charges when they outlaw internal combustion engines?
Right then they should have been shut down, broken into hundreds of monitored different companies and further violations result in complete termination of the offending operation.
That crap started 12 years ago, who knows what the evil bastards are doing with the "smart devices" that are in homes now.
Of course google is already doing this to everyone already who carry cell phones everywhere, home and school.
Now they are just trying to make it legal.
And they can be certain of this because the Chinese companies writing their software will be under strict contract provisions.
Bump
The Salvation Army "Officer's Training College" has been using something similar for years....even checks a student against his/her own previous work.
No thank you.
Glad I have all the shingles I will ever need.

That relates to search engines and monitoring of search habits, how?
But, there are ways around what should be an illegal invasion of privacy so just avoid that invasion of privacy as long as possible and don't fight the fact that it's legal when it shouldn't be. Right?
Apparently you agree with that reasoning and figure if you can avoid something for a while until they find a way to make what you suggest useless. I thought you might already have thought through ways to mitigate something else the same crowd of folks may have planned for our future.
They tried to pigeonhole my kid and I would have none of it

Actually, there’s only one plan: don’t let them.
I have been on FR since 1998. I had served my time on left and was appalled at what was happening _then_. I naively suggested conservatives organize and put their own change agents into all the various social groups and organizations to counter the progs. I seriously thought people would fight for their liberties.
No one had the time. I was told conservatives don’t march, infiltrate or organize. Snark proliferated around my handle. Warriors pounded keyboards. Some of them are either no longer on FR or have passed.
But now, many are taking the information fight (and using the legal and electoral systems we have left to do so) to the progs. So, there’s that.
All tech ages. So do economic models. For all I know (which isn’t much), only those of us out here in the sticks will even continue to own private vehicles, going forward. Transport seems to be going to a pay-for-use-on-demand mode. Leases might actually outnumber owned units soon.
The internal combustion engines are directed by computers, even now. We have hybrids. I think perhaps the internal combustion tech/analogue mechanics will simply fade away as electric and digital improves & becomes ubiquitous. However, POTUS has already made heads explode by changing regulations and standards to let the market decide instead of government mandates.
Methods of producing energy are not inalienable rights. Privacy, especially privacy of thought, is essential. It’s up there with freedom of speech, religion and the right to self-defense via weapons, if necessary.
As a 76-year-old rural woman, my advice to those waking up to the prog tyranny is to find or found like-minded groups and resist as hard as the progs do. Teach your kids to exist outside their influences. Support the information warriors on our front lines. Fortify our perimeter and be ready to march like those in Hong Kong. Set the example.
You want specific instructions? Opsec requires that anyone with a plan keep it close until it can be made operational. Privacy of thought, freedom of information,freedom of speech, private property and self-defense are foundational.
Start there. Succeed and the rest of the prog global plan will at the least be glitched for a while. All wars are dynamic.
What are you doing to “mitigate something else the same crowd of folks may have planned for our future.”? I’ll understand if you can’t share specifics.
