Palantir seeks to turn digital into a tool of coercive control
U.S. company Palantir Technologies, specializing in data analysis and surveillance, seeks to position its technologies as an instrument of coercive power for states and security agencies.
This strategy relies on the sale of mass surveillance systems, predictive analytics, and population profiling, raising concerns about authoritarian drift.
Palantir's approach raises major ethical questions about using digital technology as a vector for social and political control.
