Stop Trump and Palantir’s Mass Data Collection Power Grab
I urge you to stop the White House's effort to compile a master list of personal information through mass data collection and surveillance, to stand against the government giving Americans' data to AI, and to oppose sending any more taxpayer money to companies like Palantir.
Why is this important?
We need to talk about Palantir, Friend: the data-mining giant, co-founded by Republican mega-donor Peter Thiel.
After winning a massive $30 million contract with ICE earlier this year, the firm is now helping supercharge Trump’s mass deportation agenda — the very architect of which, Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, owns up to $250,000 in Palantir stock, allowing him to profit while the company builds an Orwellian surveillance system to track people slated for deportation.
The scary truth is, Palantir’s ties with the Trump administration go so much deeper. Our personal bank account numbers, medical claims, student debt amounts, and so much more could soon be accessible to the White House if Trump’s nightmare surveillance state succeeds.
With the help of Palantir, Trump is reportedly amassing “untold surveillance power” through this invasion of privacy that could soon be weaponized to threaten, persecute, attack, and punish dissidents, political opponents, and people of all ilk.
Trump hasn’t been forced to publicly disclose his grand plans for Palantir. But with enough pressure from Washington, that can change. We can do our part today by sending a message to Congress tens of thousands of people strong, demanding they throw roadblocks at Trump’s data collection power grab and protect our personal privacy.
