By
@privacyint
Summary
A secret partnership between data mining company Palantir and the New Orleans Police Department, beginning in 2012, used predictive policing software that analyzed gang affiliations, criminal histories, and social media data to forecast individuals' likelihood of committing violence or becoming victims. The deal was extended three times through 2018 and remained unknown even to city council members, despite Palantir using its New Orleans work to secure multi-million dollar contracts elsewhere.
