Canada's government concealed a multimillion-dollar deal with Palantir for data analytics and surveillance work. The secrecy raises privacy and accountability concerns.
Canada's government concealed a multimillion-dollar contract with Palantir Technologies for data analytics and surveillance work. The secrecy meant Parliament and the public didn't know the extent of the government's surveillance capabilities or spending.
Palantir specializes in assembling massive datasets to identify patterns and connections. When a government buys that capability in secret, it's explicitly choosing to operate without public or legislative scrutiny. The cost matters less than the fact that Canada decided surveillance infrastructure didn't warrant transparency.
