How a Surveillance State Gets Built: Palantir, ICE, and Your Private Data
Your private data was never meant to become a map to your front door, but that’s what happens when government power meets private-corporation tooling built for speed and scale.

This is how a surveillance state gets built: not with one dramatic law, but with quiet integrations, automated triage, and systems that make the next knock easier than the last. The question isn’t whether the technology is impressive, it’s what it makes possible.
