Palantir Combines Government Databases to Build Complete Citizen Profiles
Documents disclosed under FOIA requests revealed that Palantir Technologies had integrated data from at least eight federal agencies into a unified surveillance platform enabling analysts to build comprehensive profiles of individual American citizens. The system, operating under contracts with DHS, ICE, and other agencies, linked immigration records, tax data, social media, location history, and financial records. Civil liberties groups called it the most extensive domestic surveillance infrastructure ever assembled by a private contractor.
