The ICE situation in Minneapolis demonstrates the dangers of database software combined with pattern recognition and meta-data surveillance such as phone data. I'm sad and disgusted that clear danger to democratic society is not recognized by the general public on scale. Palantir is able to convince German federal officials and parliaments to buy their systems. the same technology that is core component of ICE's executive power abuse.
