President Donald Trump began his presidency castigating Google for supposedly being biased against conservatives. Now he’s leaning on them to help his administration beat back the coronavirus outbreak.
Google and Apple are, for their part, building out websites and apps that help carry information about virus testing to people who might be infected.
Other Silicon Valley giants are reportedly helping the CDC and the White House collect geolocation data of people who are potentially infected.
Big tech companies began the Trump era as a foil to the president amid concerns the companies are politically biased, but many of them are becoming crucial cogs in the president’s virus response.
President Donald Trump kicked off his administration with claims that Google, Facebook, Twitter and other Silicon Valley giants were systematically throttling conservatives. The Department of Justice opened an antitrust investigation in July 2019 targeting the industry’s business models.
Trump rarely varnished his opinion on what he considered big tech’s bias against him.
“But I tell you what, they should be sued,” Trump said during a Fox Business interview in June 2019, referring to a Google executive who was caught in an undercover video suggesting the company is looking for ways to prevent the “next Trump situation.”
The employee in the video, Jen Gennai, said it was selectively edited and made her appear to be a more powerful executive than she actually was and that she was “explaining how Google’s Trust and Safety team … is working to help prevent the types of online foreign interference that happened in 2016.”
Trump’s barbs against Google and Facebook transpired before government officials were forced to reckon with the coronavirus outbreak, which began in China and has killed more than 30,000 people globally since early December 2019.
The administration is soliciting help from tech firms on a solution to the virus.
Here are some of the ways Google, Amazon and others are coming to Trump’s aide. (RELATED: Trump And Big Tech Put Their Differences Aside, Brainstorm Ways Google, Facebook Can Confront Coronavirus)
Apple Creates An App For That
Apple launched a website and app March 27 giving people who think they contracted the virus a screening tool, information about the disease, and guidance on when to seek testing for their potential condition.
The mega tech company developed the app and website in conjunction with the White House, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The screening tool “does not replace instructions from healthcare providers or guidance from state and local health authorities,” according to a press release Apple published announcing the website and app.
Google Builds A Nationwide Website Containing Information On COVID-19
Google created a nationwide website alongside the federal government on the creation of a national website providing people information about the nature of the virus.
“Google is partnering with the US Government in developing a national website that includes information about COVID-19 symptoms, risk and testing information,” Google said in a series of tweets March 14.
The company is also giving the World Health Organization $250 million in ad grants to help the government agency share information on how to beat back the virus, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in a March 27 blog post.
Palantir, Google Are Providing Trump Geolocation Data
Palantir is helping the CDC deploy geolocation technology as a way of tracking the virus outbreak, The Wall Street Journal reported March 18. Other tech companies are providing similar services for the government, the report noted, citing documents it obtained.
Google and others are providing the government help locating people through their phones, as well as facial-recognition tech that can assist in finding people who contacted individuals who later tested positive for coronavirus, TheWSJ noted, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Tech experts warn about collecting geolocation data, according to a report Monday from The Washington Post.
More than 50% of the tech experts WaPo surveyed said the United States should not emulate South Korea, Israel and China in using the kinds of tools Palantir is suggesting. Still other experts said the mass digital surveillance might be necessary to tackle coronavirus, the survey noted.

thedailycaller--2020-03-30--FACT CHECK: Viral Post Claims California Is Registering 3 Million Noncitizens To Vote

An image shared on Facebook claims California is registering three million noncitizens to vote when they obtain or renew their driver ’ s licenses .
The post mischaracterizes a state law that automatically registers eligible California residents to vote when they obtain or renew a driver ’ s license and another that allows illegal immigrants to obtain special driver ’ s licenses .
There ’ s no evidence California is actively registering illegal immigrants to vote .
California enacted in 2015 the New Motor Vehicle Act aimed to increase voter turnout by automatically registering people to vote when they renew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through the Department of Motor Vehicles ( DMV ) , unless they opt out .
The same year , the state began allowing undocumented immigrants who can establish California residency and meet other qualifications to obtain special AB 60 driver ’ s licenses .
The post , which has been shared more than 600 times , appears to misrepresent those two laws , claiming , “ California is registering three million non citizens to vote when they get their driver ’ s license.
” ( RELATED : Can Noncitizens Use Chicago ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ State And Federal Elections ? )
The New Motor Vehicle Act , however , only applies to Californian residents who are 18 years or older and meet the state ’ s other voter requirements : be a U.S. citizen , not currently be in state or federal prison or on parole for a felony conviction and not currently be found mentally incompetent to vote by a court .
Applicants applying for AB 60 licenses are not eligible and will not be registered to vote under California ’ s motor-voter law , the California @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the DMV said approximately 1,500 people – including noncitizens – had been erroneously registered to vote because of a “ processing error.
” But , according to the Sacramento Bee , the Secretary of State ’ s office said none of the individuals mistakenly registered were AB 60 licensees living in the country illegally , and the Daily Caller found no evidence that California is proactively doing so , as the post claims .
Paula Valle , a spokeswoman for the California Secretary of State ’ s office , told the Daily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the DMV has a “ hard stop in their system ” to prevent automatic registration of AB 60 applicants .

An image shared on Facebook claims California is registering three million noncitizens to vote when they obtain or renew their driver’s licenses.
Verdict:
The post mischaracterizes a state law that automatically registers eligible California residents to vote when they obtain or renew a driver’s license and another that allows illegal immigrants to obtain special driver’s licenses. There’s no evidence California is actively registering illegal immigrants to vote.
Fact Check:
California enacted in 2015 the New Motor Vehicle Act aimed to increase voter turnout by automatically registering people to vote when they renew or obtain a driver’s license through the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), unless they opt out. The same year, the state began allowing undocumented immigrants who can establish California residency and meet other qualifications to obtain special AB 60 driver’s licenses.
The post, which has been shared more than 600 times, appears to misrepresent those two laws, claiming, “California is registering three million non citizens to vote when they get their driver’s license.” (RELATED: Can Noncitizens Use Chicago’s Citykey IDs To Vote In Local, State And Federal Elections?)
The New Motor Vehicle Act, however, only applies to Californian residents who are 18 years or older and meet the state’s other voter requirements: be a U.S. citizen, not currently be in state or federal prison or on parole for a felony conviction and not currently be found mentally incompetent to vote by a court. Applicants applying for AB 60 licenses are not eligible and will not be registered to vote under California’s motor-voter law, the California DMV website notes.
In October 2018, the DMV said approximately 1,500 people – including noncitizens – had been erroneously registered to vote because of a “processing error.” But, according to the Sacramento Bee, the Secretary of State’s office said none of the individuals mistakenly registered were AB 60 licensees living in the country illegally, and the Daily Caller found no evidence that California is proactively doing so, as the post claims.
Paula Valle, a spokeswoman for the California Secretary of State’s office, told the Daily Caller in a March 6 email that the DMV has a “hard stop in their system” to prevent automatic registration of AB 60 applicants.

“Andrew Cuomo said New York is the canary in the coal mine,” she continued. “Because it hasn’t impacted everybody else yet, doesn’t mean it won’t impact them in a few weeks, and my concern is you’re still seeing people going out. You’re seeing people not social distancing in many different cities, and I don’t understand what it’s going to take for the American public to wake up to the fact that people are dying at an absolutely exorbitant rate. The only time American history will have more less people dying are the World War I, World War II and the Civil War.”

A political action committee supporting President Donald Trump filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission saying former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg ’ s donation to the Democratic Party was illegal .
Bloomberg ’ s $ 18 million donation to the Democratic National Committee is an attempt to circumvent contribution limits and violate campaign finance laws , Great America PAC said in the March 26 complaint .
The FEC is reviewing the complaint and will determine later if it will investigate .
The Daily Caller News Foundation received a copy of the complaint .
( RELATED : Bloomberg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Throughout Election ) “ Having failed to buy his party ’ s nomination , Bloomberg is doing the next best thing and buying the Democratic Party itself , ” the group ’ s treasurer Dan Backer said Monday in a press statement .

” The DNC must be held accountable , Baker noted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bloomberg ’ s decision to forgo donations and instead bankroll his own failed presidential run .
The group said this unusual setup skirts the confines of the law distinguishing personal finances from campaign cash .
Federal rules allow individuals to donate $ 355,000 per year under normal conditions , but Bloomberg is taking advantage of a provision in campaign finance law allowing federal candidates to provide an unlimited amount of cash to party committees .
The FEC lacks a quorum so the agency is unlikely to provide insight on the legality .
Neither @ @ @ @ @ @ @ DCNF ’ s request for comment , but the party ’ s communications director Xochitl Hinojosa addressed questions about the arrangement in a March 20 tweet .
