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.

Hard to tell - Joseph Watson, the creator of this website, was an InfoWars reporter, but a lot of the articles on the site are based on truth. This smells fishy, though.

A *FANTASTIC* way to lose 2020, and to ensure I feel zero guilt in helping that happen.

Does your dad go outdoors? In a place where there is surveillance? Does he jaywalk? Did he fail to open the door for the nice old lady? Did he fail to signal a lane change? Did he drive 45 mph in the fast lane? Welcome to facial recognition.

Sounds subjective and open to manipulation.

I would be in favor of social credit scores for public school teacher hires. No Democrats need apply. What’s good for the goose...

Fake or bluff on Trump’s part. Never gonna happen in his administration. Like to see some actual DJT quotes with respect to this. If he hinted it might happen, he’s playin’ the libtards.

"According to the Washington Post, Trump has reacted “very positively” to the idea."

Yeah, I'm not inclined to believe you, Washington Post. The person who has been spied on for 2+ years by the federal government now likes the idea of spying on citizens? Sure...

Undoubtedly. That said, I don’t believe this nonsense from WaPo for a nanosecond.

Yes, and currently everyone needs a “red flag” stash as well. Private sales are they way to go!

Sounds like another Fake News story according to sources familiar with Fake News.

The only people they can’t find with all this high tech are folks connected with Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone else, they can read your heartbeat from space and know your exact location to the inch.

With those groups making the call all Trump voters would be excluded. Damn, I was going to vote for him next year.

Great question!

I am pretty sure most of the Silicon Valley control freaks would not like Freepers.

The Unibomber and the guy that just shot all those People in Texas were both “off the grid”.

You know, like John Connor.

What is a Jared idea?

This - "HARPA would employ “breakthrough technologies with high specificity and sensitivity for early diagnosis of neuropsychiatric violence,” including Apple Watches, Amazon Echo and Google Home."

Sounds just like the kind of thing Kushner would dream up.

Freepers would automatically be banned from buying a gun.

My question is if you are not on Social Media, what will they use for a score?
