Trump agenda boosts secretive tech firms Palantir and Amazon, leading to a fight

Palantir, co-founded by polarizing Silicon Valley figure Peter Thiel, is building the case-management software for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, technology that “allows immigration agents to scour regional, local, state, and federal databases across the country, build profiles of immigrants and their friends and family based on both private and public information, and use those profiles to surveil, track, and ultimately deport immigrants,” the report alleged.

Amazon’s world-dominant cloud services unit hosts state and federal data systems “key to immigration enforcement,” including Palantir’s case-management system, and Amazon Web Services also sells cloud services to state law enforcement agencies that share information with the Department of Homeland Security, the report said.

The groups behind the report, and other opponents of Trump’s immigration and border agenda, have seized on companies’ federal contract work as a pressure point, seeking to enlist company employees and the public in opposing the firms’ work for the feds — and by extension, the work of the feds.

******

So will Amazon become the enemy to the other side?

Will SJW employees sabotage the cloud storage or corrupt the data collection/storage?

Interesting.
