Trump Administration Considering Social Credit Score System To Determine Who Can Buy A Gun
Summit News ^ | 09/04/19 | Paul Joseph Watson

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.

No kidding! After a bunch of hopping around, I finally got close to the source. or did I?

“The White House declined to provide the Daily Caller News Foundation with a statement BUT SOURCES told WaPo that Trump has reacted ‘very positively’ to the proposal.”

No names? No news. Just something to gin up his base to not like him anymore.

I smell fake news. President Trump knows firsthand what unaccountable Deep State intrusion into a person’s life can do. This goes against his instincts, IMO.

Now...the Deep State is attempting to collude with the megadata firms to acquire a virtual dossier on every citizen; of this there can be little doubt.

Remember his `saying’: “It’s not me they’re after, it’s you. I’m just in the way.”

Fake news.

Some deep state/Obama holdovers are considering a proposal to Trump, and leaked it to the press to sow discord.

This will never happen.

The bureaucracies and police state agencies are always run by leftists and statists.

What would you expect to happen.

This is the problem with vesting too much power in the central government.

Where does being a Free Republic Poster rank?

Probably labeled under "mean" and "nasty" since we don't agree with everything the powers-that-be decide is right, and we're not afraid to express our thoughts and ideas under the guarantees of the 1st Amendment. Good luck exercising your 2nd Amendment rights however. No guns for you!

LOL, funny, liberals use this data to isolate and attack conservatives. Imagine, would it be used against liberals who want to buy guns? LOL Classic. Won’t ever happen though, this infringes on Free Speech

Okay. Before I take this in and build up a reaction, I need to know, is this a parody? Is this Satire?
I’ve taken the bait before, only to later find out I’m reading somebody’s idea of a ‘joke’.

It would surprise me if every FReeper did not buy all the guns and ammo they envision needing during the obamao empire 8 years. The signs were all there way back and flashing red during the obamao ammo dry up period. You don’t have to be a prepper to get what you need before looming threats of restrictions come to fruition.

This is worse than “Show us your social media account history so we can determine if you’re a ‘culture fit’ with the company”.

You may as well Google your own directions to the gulag.
