@de Wenn ich schon lese "Bildungsforschung". Man höre doch mal auf zu forschen und mehr den Schülern zu. Dann weiß man auch, wo es hakt und wen man unterstützen muss. Her je, die alte GroKo war zu blöd, um ohne 24h-Betreuung den PC anzuschalten und die neue GroKo versucht jetzt unter allen Umständen in jeglichen Bereichen unseres Lebens, eine möglichst lückenlose #totalüberwachung als #digitalisierung zu verkaufen. Man denke an die #epa oder #palantir , #BürgerID, etc.

Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has plans to stage a “#hackathon” next week in Washington, DC.
The goal is to create a single “mega API”
—a bridge that lets software systems talk to one another
—for accessing IRS data, sources tell WIRED.
The agency is expected to partner with a third-party vendor to manage certain aspects of the data project.
#Palantir, a software company cofounded by billionaire and #Musk associate Peter #Thiel, has been brought up consistently by DOGE representatives as a possible candidate, sources tell WIRED.

WIRED · DOGE Is Planning a Hackathon at the IRS. It Wants Easier Access to Taxpayer DataBy Makena Kelly

you know what's worse than companies like Palantir getting involved in government digital services (company that should not be allowed in the first place)? such "promotional" articles by journalists to normalise it. politicshome.com/news/article/

also, ffs stuffing AI into everything is so dumb and stupid that it will backfire later on.

>Police analysis software to evaluate health data

"Palantir's Vera analytics software is already in use in Bavaria. The Federal Council is now calling for a short-term solution for the German police."

"The Federal Council is advocating for the rapid deployment of police analysis software throughout Germany. The "short-term central provision of a jointly operated data analysis platform" could "make an important contribution to effective threat prevention and law enforcement by enabling targeted data analysis," according to a resolution (PDF) of the Chamber of States dated March 21, 2025. There is a "continuing urgent security policy and technical need."
Job market

In the resolution, the federal states cite the attack on the Magdeburg Christmas market in December 2024 and the knife attack in Aschaffenburg in January 2025. In the "recent past," "people with mental health issues have often appeared as perpetrators of violent crimes." It further states: "In order to better detect and record such serious crimes, individual behavioral patterns and risks must be identified, analyzed, and assessed in a timely manner."

Linnemann calls for register for mentally ill people

To implement this, "a nationwide network of information between security, health, weapons, and, where appropriate, immigration authorities must be ensured." Legitimate security concerns must be balanced with data protection requirements. The Federal Council is calling for new legal bases for data exchange and analysis.

The inclusion of health data in such a database could be particularly problematic. CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann commented on Deutschlandfunk at the end of 2024: "We have created large grids for right-wing extremists, for Islamists, but obviously not for mentally ill violent offenders. And that is simply a major deficit in Germany."

Linnemann continued: "And there simply needs to be an exchange between the authorities, the security authorities, also with psychiatry, with psychotherapists, and much more. That is my lesson: it is not enough to create registers for right-wing extremists and Islamists; in the future, this should also apply to the mentally ill."

However, the justification for the Federal Council's resolution does not mention a new register. It specifically mentions only "admission procedures of professional organizations such as medical associations, the judiciary, or penal and correctional institutions." The inclusion of this data is intended to help assess the potential for violence of individuals.

Criticism from the Psychiatrists' Association

The establishment of a central registry was criticized, among others, by the German Society for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Neurology (DGPPN). "Only certain illnesses are associated with an increased risk of violent acts, and only under certain conditions and if those affected are untreated. A central registry of all people with a mental health diagnosis would not prevent violent acts," said DGPPN President Euphrosyne Gouzoulis-Mayfrank.

According to the DGPPN, such a registry would promote the stigmatization of mental illnesses and reduce the chances of effective treatment. "The best means of violence prevention is early, coordinated, and intensive treatment for people with mental illnesses who, if left untreated, pose a risk of violent acts," Gouzoulis-Mayfrank continued.

Vera already in operation in Bavaria

The Federal Council also envisions making the Vera analysis software from the US provider Palantir, which is already in use in several countries, available as widely as possible. The Federal Government is called upon to "promptly provide a centrally operated, digitally sovereign, economically viable, and legally permissible automated data analysis platform for all federal and state police forces."

According to a report by Heise.de, Palantir's cross-procedure research and analysis platform (Vera) has been in live operation in Bavaria since December 25, 2024. The software could be used by police throughout Germany through an already concluded framework agreement. Vera's pilot operation ran from September 2, 2024, to December 24, 2024.

According to the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office, VERA will be used in cases of serious and extremely serious crime to prevent potential further offenses. Examples include organized drug trafficking, telephone fraud gangs, terrorist attacks, sexual offenses, and child pornography. VERA will access millions of data sets from all areas of the Bavarian police force, allowing investigators to search and analyze them.

"The experiment was called the “Free Town Project” (it later became the “Free State Project”), and the goal was simple: take over Grafton’s local government and turn it into a libertarian utopia. The movement was cooked up by a small group of ragtag libertarian activists who saw in Grafton a unique opportunity to realize their dreams of a perfectly logical and perfectly market-based community..."

Es lohnt sich ja sehr oft, nicht nur auf das Heute, sondern auch in die jüngere Vergangenheit zu schauen. Die These von vor fünf Jahren (also 2020):
„Auch in Deutschland wollte Gesundheitsminister Jens Spahn noch kürzlich auch ohne freiwillige Einwilligung staatlichen Behörden personalisierte Bewegungsdaten von Handynutzern zugänglich machen.”
Da war Spahn Regierungsmitglied

@Nowhereman @HansLWernitz Auch hier also eine Verbindung zum #HerrderRinge.

Ja, wie kann die deutsche Politik in diesen Tagen nur an die Beschaffung von #Palantir denken?! Das gefährdet unsere innere Sicherheit, denn über das Überwachungstool von #Thiel kennt die #USA dann unsere Gesellschaft bis in den hintersten Winkel.

Aber was soll man von Politkern erwarten, die bis heute noch munter auf X von #Musk twittern, als wäre in den USA noch alles in bester Ordnung.

#Palantir :

'Und künftig wird #Hessen – nach einer Änderung des Polizeigesetzes – sogar noch einen Schritt weitergehen: Der Einsatz von Hessendata wird künftig noch durch Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) ergänzt. Erste unterstützende KI-Services sollen laut Ministerium noch in diesem Jahr implementiert werden, „um die Auswertung von Daten noch effektiver gestalten zu können“.'

Wenn man denkt, es kann nicht schlimmer kommen... 🤬

Alexander #Karp, Palantir-CEO, Profiteur von #LLM für besseres Töten und Überwachen, glorifiziert in der Washington Post von Bezos die Atombombe: "nur Angst bewahrt uns vor Krieg". Entwicklung Waffen-KI: das neue "Manhattan-Project". Propagiert Kultur des Schreckens und Rechts des Stärkeren.

"Alex Karp is part of a new breed of Silicon Valley billionaires seeking to integrate their businesses with America's military-industrial complex, while dismantling the government and championing deregulation of the economy. Though he's not yet as famous as his peers like Musk and Thiel, he's just as dangerous"

Zeteo · Meet the Tech Billionaire Just as Dangerous as Elon MuskBy Taylor Lorenz

Anstatt in Deutschland eigene Softwarelösungen für Polizeibehörden zu schaffen, will man nun Millionensummen für das Datenmonsters #Palantir des rechten Tech-Milliardärs Peter Thiel ausgeben. Die Algorithmen, mit denen die Daten von Bürger:innen aus diversen Quellen "intelligent" kombiniert werden sollen, sind weder transparent noch auch datenschutzrechtlicher Perspektive akzeptabel. Eine verschlafene #Digitalisierung darf nicht auf Kosten des Datenschutzes gehen.

"gute Seele", "Kampf zwischen #Gut und #Böse" – was Messe-Leute so verräterisch schreiben:
