<p>In a Friday evening release to Buzzfeed (https://www.buzzfeed.com/nitashatiku/google-muslim-registry-trump?utm_term=.ruqDAYANJ#.seOJN0N1m), Apple and Google spokespeople went on the record saying that the two tech behemoths would be opposed to helping build or contributing to any sort of ‘Muslim Registry’.</p>
<p>An Apple spokesperson said:</p>

<p>“We think people should be treated the same no matter how they worship, what they look like, who they love. We haven’t been asked and we would oppose such an effort.”</p>

<p>A spokesperson for Google said:</p>

<p>“In relation to the hypothetical of whether we would ever help build a ‘muslim registry’ – we haven’t been asked, of course we wouldn’t do this and we are glad – from all that we’ve read – that the proposal doesn’t seem to be on the table.”</p>

<p>The idea of a registry was put forward during President-elect Trump’s controversial campaign but like many the other ideas put forward (Like an Apple ban), it seems to be walked back as his term starts in a month. Amazon and Oracle troublingly declined to comment on a Muslim registry while Uber simply said “No”.</p>
<p>Many other tech company employees have joined the NeverAgain Pledge (http://neveragain.tech/). You can sign up here.  (https://github.com/neveragaindottech/neveragaindottech.github.io/blob/master/README.md)</p>
<p>The Intercept’s Sam Biddle did the original work in this area getting other technology notables to decline the hypothetical: <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/12/16/apple-and-google-go-on-record-opposing-any-effort-to-build-a-muslim-registry-in-trump-administration/#more-459247" class="more-link">more…[/url]</p>
