Some in Texas use them to track women who visit out-of-state abortion clinics. This kind of technology is dangerous in the hands of the rabid right wingers in this country. They care more about punishing innocent people than protecting democratic rights.

Wikipedia:

Palantir Technologies Inc. is an American publicly traded company that develops data integration and analytics platforms enabling government agencies, militaries, and corporations to combine and analyze data from multiple sources. Its flagship products—Gotham (for intelligence and defense) and Foundry (for commercial and civil use)—connect previously siloed databases to support intelligence operations, counterterrorism analysis, law enforcement, and enterprise analytics.[3] Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, it was founded in 2003 by Peter Thiel,[4] Stephen Cohen,[5] Joe Lonsdale,[6] Alex Karp,[7] and Nathan Gettings.[8][9]
