Palantir’s involvement in fusion-center ecosystems has long raised alarms for enabling mission creep, a steady expansion from investigating serious crime, to monitoring protests, and ultimately to tracking lawful speech and political organizing.
Many people are aware that fusion centers exist, but far fewer understand how aggressively they are being used today. There are more than 70 DHS-funded fusion centers operating across the United States, originally justified as post-9/11 coordination hubs meant to help federal, state, and local agencies share intelligence about genuine security threats. In practice, their scope has grown far beyond that mandate.
Fusion centers function by combining federal intelligence streams with local and state law-enforcement data. This includes information from DHS, the FBI, ICE, and CBP, alongside police reports, license-plate readers, CCTV feeds, and increasingly, online activity. Public social-media posts, event pages, livestreams, fundraising links, and activist messaging are routinely monitored and analyzed, often under the broad and loosely defined banner of “situational awareness.”
This is where Palantir’s role becomes significant. While Palantir is rarely branded publicly as “fusion-center software,” its platforms are widely used by the agencies that feed data into fusion centers. Palantir tools excel at linking disparate datasets, identifying relationships between people, locations, and events, and visualizing networks over time. That capability makes it especially useful for mapping protest movements, identifying organizers or influential voices, and tracking how activity spreads across cities or regions.
The result is a system where lawful political activity can be pulled into intelligence workflows designed for criminal or terrorism investigations. Even when each individual data source is technically legal (public posts, permits, open-source information) the combined analysis can paint detailed profiles of movements and individuals who have committed no crime. Once that information enters a fusion center, it can be shared widely across agencies, often with limited transparency or meaningful oversight.
This structure blurs the line between public safety and political surveillance. Fusion centers, powered by sophisticated analytics and private contractors like Palantir, make it easier to justify continuous monitoring on the grounds of prevention (anticipating unrest before it happens) rather than responding to actual wrongdoing. That shift fundamentally changes how dissent is treated: not as a protected civic activity, but as a potential risk to be managed.
In short, fusion centers are no longer just passive information-sharing hubs. With advanced analytic platforms feeding into them, they have become active nodes in a nationwide intelligence network one that is increasingly targets speech, association, and protest, all under the cover of “security and preparedness”.

‘A new form of genocide’: Gazans feel little relief from Israeli strangulation since the ceasefire
Most Palestinians in Gaza say they don’t feel the relief they expected after the ceasefire. Israel keeps blocking aid into the strip, delaying reconstruction efforts, and leaving hospitals short on supplies, while people go hungry every day.Tareq S. Hajjaj (Mondoweiss)

A long, dark tunnel stretches into the distance, with a bright white light visible at the far end. The tunnel appears to be made of concrete, and its walls are slightly curved. A yellow line runs down the center of the road, guiding the eye toward the exit. There are evenly spaced lights along the ceiling of the tunnel, creating a repeating pattern. The road surface is wet, reflecting some of the light and adding to the overall sense of depth.

The Age of Extraction: How Tech Platforms Conquered the Economy and Threaten Our Future Prosperity by Tim Wu, 2025
Tech platforms manipulate attention, extract wealth, and deepen inequality. In this new book, Tim Wu (The Attention Merchants) explains how we can reclaim control and create a balanced economy that works for everyone.
![“The magic of Tim Wu’s The Age of Extraction is its simplicity. Wu deftly breaks down one of the greatest challenges of our age—the unaccountable power of tech platforms—into such digestible pieces that the solutions for what to do become dead obvious. Essential reading.”—Karen Hao, author of Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI
