Big tech company Palantir is making headlines—and record profits—from harvesting massive amounts of personal data to spy on our communities.
Most recently, Palantir signed a $30 million contract with ICE to surveil and track immigrants, making it easier to tear families apart and disappear our neighbors.
Trump’s administration isn’t the only one contracting with Palantir – city governments have contracted with them to surveil communities without any transparency to the public.
Co-founded by Trump’s billionaire mega-donor Peter Thiel, Palantir is thriving under this administration’s fascist agenda — because their entire business model depends on crisis and making our communities suffer.
Palantir’s most harmful partnerships also include:
Creating predictive tools for police departments–including the NYPD–to justify racial profiling and target Black & Brown communities
Building AI tools to automate claim denials for health insurance companies so corporate elites can profit at the expense of our health
Providing AI-driven surveillance & data analytics to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to target Palestinians
Palantir is using our tax dollars to fuel genocide, increase deportations, and spy on our communities — but we can stop this unchecked power grab by pressuring our elected officials to end New York City’s ties to Palantir.
