Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon
AcidicBasicGlitch@lemm.ee 1 day agoNot just the military. I found out Palantir had a contract with my own city to develop and test their predictive policing technology until 2018. theverge.com/…/palantir-predictive-policing-tool-…
The city banned predictive policing and facial recognition tech, then quietly lifted the ban and replaced it with a very concerning ordinance in 2022. thelensnola.org/…/mayor-cantrell-moves-to-reverse…
Then it came out that the city wasn’t even following the rules they had created in the sketchy ordinance. washingtonpost.com/…/live-facial-recognition-poli…
The private surveillance company using the facial recognition tech (which was created during the time Palantir was still under contract with the city, but is allegedly totally unrelated to Palantir 🙄) couldn’t keep providing the real time facial recognition tracking to city police bc WaPo exposed they were violating the ordinance. However, since it’s only a city ordinance and they’re a private company, they can still provide it to literally anyone else in the city (state police, federal agents, ICE, military).
They’ve already been doing a lot of shady shit to American citizens, and it’s naive to just trust that they won’t eventually start using these kinds of AI drone weapons on American soil.

red light cameras already using facial recognition, to catch would be “runners of red light”, LEO was already using PAlintr PRIOR TO trump announcing “all agencies must use palintir, to target democrats”
