#Elite #ICE #TargetSpotting Database and Software brought to you by #Palantir.

The US has become fascist, and we Germans can say that... we have seen such surveillance methods being abused twice, in the past, with pen, paper and wiretapping. #Stasi #Gestapo #Thiel.

Their claim is: "We can generate any proof your law enforcement entities need."

Für alle die sich Fragen ob wir es hier nicht etwas mit dem Datenschutz übertreiben.

Die #ICE in den USA nutzt eine App von #Palantir um Leute zum deportieren zu lokalisieren.

Die Daten dafür kommen u.a. aus dem Gesundheitsministerium.

Polizeiliche Überwachung mit #Palantir wurde für BW eingeführt und soll in Deutschland für weitere Bundesländer eingeführt werden.

🧵 My sense of justice was triggered by #Palantir corporate gaslighting two Swiss investigative journalists on LinkedIn.

This is something most people won’t even see, but I was angry, so I looked while my kid was still asleep.

Here’s what it looks like when tech bros attack journalists while you and I have too much food over Christmas.

Two Swiss journalists spent a year filing 59 #FOIA requests to document Palantir’s 7-year campaign to sell surveillance software to Swiss authorities (army and health services in particular).

The Swiss army’s internal report concluded they couldn’t rule out US intelligence accessing data through Palantir systems, despite reassurances.

Their story hit The Guardian, and #UK MPs are now questioning £825M in Palantir contracts.

The journalists were rejoicing on LinkedIn. It’s a big deal to have your story picked up by mainstream UK media, especially after a year of hard work.

This is where it gets ugly.

Oops! AI did it again... you're not that innocent.

Nectar, a 'crime-predicting' system developed with #Palantir, could be rolled out nationally after a pilot with Bedfordshire police (UK).

Data such as race, sex life, trade union membership, philosophical beliefs and health are used to 'predict' criminality so people can be targeted for #surveillance.

A German court rules in favor of imposing strict guidelines about how #DataAnalysis tools like #Palantir software #Gotham can be used by police. The court ruling also warned against the inclusion of data belonging to bystanders.

What does this mean for your data #privacy and how can you limit the amounts of data collected from and about you? tutanota.com/blog/posts/palant…
