Donald Trump Gets Backlash From Proposed Muslim Ban; Has Silicon Valley Accidentally Created Its Own Muslim Registry? [VIDEO]
Caezar SottoTech company executives will be meeting with President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday. Although both are trying to connect, tech employees are refusing Trump's call to register Muslims in America.
Donald Trump's campaign promise has rallied hundreds of tech workers against the policy. A group of software engineers, web developers, and other tech workers are even petitioning online.
Neveragain.tech is gaining support from citizens who do not support the call against Muslims. According to PC Mag, the policy called for a total ban and shutdown of Muslims entering the country.
Trump voiced his concern regarding Muslims during the second presidential debate last October. The soon-to-be president said that the ban has called for a veto from certain areas in the world. However, his press release against Muslims entering America still remains on his campaign website.
Silicon Valley Has Created An Accidental Muslim Registry
In connection to the ban, New York Magazine has reported the possibility of an accidental Muslim Registry. Most of Silicon Valley's successful businesses have enormous data collection. Facebook and Google store a vast amount of data on its daily users. This is particularly true for tech advertising giants as well. Even Donald Trump's Twitter account has significant information about his beliefs and religion.
Online retailers such as Amazon and eBay also keep data profiles of their daily users. Although most of these compiled data were not meant to classify religion, Silicon Valley has created its own Muslim registry by accident.
Last year, several companies have been talking about emerging artificial intelligence (AI). They spent tremendous amount of research for analytical networks, an AI that can deduce data. Facebook and Google users are susceptible to these new systems. Hiding your religion online does not matter. Most of the web's social platforms can predict it through analytics. But for the moment, these tech giants are silent on the matter. And so far, Twitter was the only social platform that refuse on creating such list.
Stay tuned for the latest news on Donald Trump.
