Ban the establishment of a national database by palantir

To: Sen. Cantwell, Pres. Trump, Rep. Jayapal, Sen. Murray

From: A constituent in Seattle, WA

The Palantir data firm's partnership with the Trump administration to create a centralized database of personal information on millions of Americans is an alarming overreach of government surveillance. Consolidating such a vast trove of private data without citizens' consent poses serious risks to civil liberties. Pooling details from various agencies into a unitary system facilitates abuse and unauthorized access. This national database would be ripe for misuse by bad actors to target vulnerable groups or suppress dissent. Protecting privacy and preventing a dystopian panopticon should be paramount concerns. I urge you to investigate this program and introduce legislation to ban the creation of such an all-encompassing dossier on the populace. Robust safeguards are needed to secure individual freedoms in the digital age.
