What does this EO mean: Prior to 2025, data from various federal agencies were kept separate. Don’t work for Medicaid? You can’t access folk’s medical history. Don’t work for the IRS? You can’t access folks income, banking information, personal contact information. You get the idea.
This EO breaks down the privacy policies that kept information siloed between agencies, and thus kept citizen’s data protected. Palantir has created a database system that pulls data from multiple federal agencies as well as data available online (social media, corporate data farming) to create a massive AI system to surveil and monitor regular American people.
