The Trump administration is considering a proposal that would use Google, Amazon and Apple to collect data on users who exhibit characteristics of mental illness that could lead to violent behavior, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

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, the report notes, citing sources inside the administration. The new agency would have a separate budget and the president would be responsible for appointing its director
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.”

I'll just stop voting. It is painfully obvious that We The People are not in control of our government. We don't elect them, we don't control them, and they don't fear us.

I hear ya, but if this were to happen we might as well rip off the band aid and help speed up the end. ;)

Now think of this .....
App That Makes You a Movie Star ‘Will Throw Your Privacy to the Crematorium’
A Chinese-made app that lets users morph themselves almost seamlessly into scenes from iconic movies and TV shows using a single selfie is the latest viral sensation to fan fears about data privacy and identity theft.

Zao, which shot to the top of China’s list of most-downloaded free apps after it launched Friday, repurposes a user’s image to dramatic effect.

It uses deepfake technology, which harnesses artificial intelligence to produce doctored photos, videos and audio recordings that can be strikingly realistic. U.S. lawmakers and technology companies are wrestling with how to detect and prevent deepfakes, especially in advance of next year’s U.S. presidential election.

Users on Zao can upload a photo of themselves and stitch their faces onto actors in films, TV shows and videogames. Clips from Zao featuring ordinary people replacing Hugh Jackman in “The Wolverine,” Leonardo DiCaprio in “Titanic” and Kit Harington in “Game of Thrones” have flooded Chinese social media in recent days.

The app is now at the center of a debate about personal data privacy in China that erupted after users discovered playing with Zao required signing away “irrevocable, permanent, transferable” rights over their content.

I can tell you that things my wife and I only talk about and do not search on our phones show up in her Facebook feed. I’m 100% sure some one is listening.
I also get birthday cards from cabelas and I have never signed up for anything or provided them with my birthday except buying ammo and sometimes I use a debit card for that. There should be no link but they know.

I think they need to make "Animal Farm" a requirement in elementary school for the cartoon, then again in high school for the book. Maybe we would have fewer socialists.

Honestly they should replace a year of "global studies" with "dystopian studies". It would be a lot more beneficial for kids to be able to recognize actual fascists than know about marriage customs of Kenya.

I can guarantee you that 1984, nor Brave New World, nor Farenheit 451 are read in schools these days. Anyone that hasn't read these books should.

If you don't use tech your a possible threat, if you use tech we will make you a possible threat.

I went to my high school 45th reunion in May. A friend from chidhood that I went to high school went to Stanford and worked for IBM for 30 plus years.

Doesn't have a cell phone. Doesn't have an e-mail address. He had an e-mail address when he worked for IBM, but not since.

Oh, they're listening all right. If you pack a smart phone, even when not in use they got you. The only way to stop them is take out the battery of leave them behind when you wish to talk freely.

Unfortunately there's only a few smart phones that you can still remove the battery, and they aren't sold at your usual cellular stores. If I didn't use the computer like capabilities of my phone daily I would have a dumb phone.
I'm still holding out for Linux to refine their phone software then I'll be flashing my phone.
