"The contracts, which ranged in size, were for mundane tech like phone services as well as advanced tools from big and small companies. Palantir, the provider of data-analysis tools that was co-founded by the billionaire Peter Thiel, received more than $1 billion over the past four years. Venntel, a provider of location data, had seven contracts with ICE totaling at least $330,000 between 2018 and 2022."

I have been watching these companies. ClearviewAI is contracted by homedepot and walmart. They have 30billion faces from zuckerbergs stash. Thiel is an OG funder. Also, he was there for the start of flock safety, who bought a company called aerodome in october. Flock uses cops as sales teams and pr. They are the license plate reader owners. They also have the cops go to businesses to pressure them to let flock have a backdoor to the cameras (and data, its hardware installed on the network) So flock has a comprehensive surveillance network across the country. Fed ex trucks, cops cars, corporate retail,.... But, aerodome, they are drones as first responder focused. All the drones in NJ were just days after flock bought aerodome.

There is no hiding anymore.
