The Netherlands Quietly Purchased the controversial software from Palantir years ago. To this day, the Dutch Police Are Still Using the Software, Writes Outgoing Minister David Van Weel (Justice and Security) in a Letter to the Parliament.
Palantir uses ai software to analyze huge amounts or data. The Company is controversial: its software can combine data to create refined profiles of individuals and map or even predict their behavior. For Example, Palantir can track down fraudsters or terrorists. Amnesty International Regularly Warns that the use of this software Violates Human Rights.
Accordance to Van Weel, The Dutch Police Only use Palantir’s Software Within the So-Called Refinery for Investigation. That is a Data Platform of the Police to Analyze Data Files of Dutch Citizens. “This is only used to combat serious and organized crime and to prevent attacks,” Weel Weel.
Accordance to the outgoing minister, Six Security Regions Letterly Used the Software for “Information-Driven Security.” That use was terminated in 2021, writes of Weel. Accordance to him, only public sources were used and palantir had no access to the data of the security regions.
Palantir’s Software was Purchased by the Netherlands As Early AS 2011, Writes de Volkskrant . The Software was Purchased When Outgoing Prime Minister Dick Schoof was Involved as Director-General at the Police, According to Documents That Have Been Made Public via The Government Information (Public Access) Act.
Palantir is Used by Various Secret and Investigative Services around the world. In Europe, Europol also uses a Data Platform, For Example.
