Ice is the least of our worries. Palantir is building a database comprised of every government agency’s information it has for every citizen and non-citizen alike.
Typically, we keep our most sensitive data behind firewalls; however, since contractors will have access to all of our information, there is nothing in the constitution protecting the average citizen from misuse and abuse by government contractors. The Constitution only protects us from government interference, not private entities.
Therefore, consider the fact that in addition to all your data in the hands of companies and social media networks, being interlaced and combined with all of our government data, which could then be accessed by non-government entities and people who could view and utilize all of your sensitive government information for whatever purposes they deem necessary.
It’s a recipe for disaster, and the beginning of the end for our democracy. IMHO…:)
Exactly. I wonder if there will be any way to undo this contract/agreement with Palantir should Dems ever get into power again. I am very uncomfortable with the fact that “Big Brother” has our data and is essentially spying on everyone.

We seem to have beginnings of the end coming from many directions.
