I wonder who is storing this data, I would bet Palantir. Possibly Oracle too.

  Very likely an array of hackers, soon.

    I assume the agents are using their own phones. One of their phones is going to be left in a bar and end up on eBay at some point and then the APK can be extracted at least.

      It should be an assigned/signed device with biometric and passcode access configured... At least it was in a couple proposals I helped define for credentialing emergency responders... though the contract definitely went with a different supplier than the one I was working with.
      • pavel_lishin 1y ago
        It should not exist at all.
        • tracker1 1y ago
          Your probably right.

        A pro-surveillance state 'hacker' very cool stuff.
        • tracker1 1y ago
          I'm mostly speaking to the device security. I'm no hacker and what I was working on was mostly making sure that people operating as emergency responders are who they say they are when you're disconnected from a centralized network.

  Did some research, biometrics specifically for facial ID for DHS/CBP seems to be awarded to NEC and Thales. https://www.nec.com/en/global/solutions/biometrics/face/neofacewatch.html https://www.nec.com/en/global/solutions/biometrics/face/neof...

  Not Palantir. Their CEO has explicitly said that they don't collect data on US citizens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-IH7EVrBbQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-IH7EVrBbQ

    Do they partner with Clearview or Flock or anyone else? "Collect" seems like a weasel word that still leaves lots of options on the table.
    • seg_lol 1y ago
      Palantir isn't collecting it, they are storing it and processing it after it has been collected by ICE. Their defacto scan everyone isn't to determine citizenship, it is to collect the data in the first place. They want to get as much data into their system as possible.
  • quantumcotton 1y ago
    Dumb question, but can't they get around that considering they are looking for people whom are not US citizens?

    that's a boldface fuckin lie
