John Poindexter’s Total Information Awareness program pioneered mass surveillance techniques after 9/11. Peter Thiel’s Palantir privatized these surveillance technologies, transforming them into a powerful data collection tool. The company’s algorithms, originally developed for PayPal, became a cornerstone of intelligence agency operations. Palantir expanded surveillance into health monitoring, predictive policing, and comprehensive citizen profiling. This privatization allowed mass surveillance to grow rapidly with minimal public scrutiny.
