Under the Trump administration, a significant focus on data control emerged, leading to increased reliance on the private data firm Palantir. With a directive to increase access to government databases under the guise of efficiency, Palantir's contracts expanded dramatically, growing to over $113 million in government spending. This shift represents not only an attempt at streamlining information sharing but also raises concerns regarding the privacy of American citizens as their personal data becomes more accessible to the executive branch.
The expansion of Palantir's contracts under the Trump administration illustrates a growing reliance on private data firms by the federal government to manage citizen data.
The Trump administration's efforts with data-sharing and Palantir highlight a broader agenda of control over government databases and personal information.
