Episode Details

Activists in New Jersey are urging the state to cut ties with Palantir Technologies, a company accused of aiding immigrant surveillance and deportation. Protests have targeted public officials and offices, with demonstrators calling for the divestment of $138 million from public pension funds invested in Palantir stock. The opposition extends beyond financial divestment, with protests also targeting politicians who have accepted donations from Palantir executives. A recent report from Little Sis highlighted significant risks and concerns stemming from New Jerseys investment in Palantir, adding scrutiny to the states financial decisions. The movement in New Jersey mirrors a broader national effort against Palantir, with the debate centering on the ethical implications of technology used for surveillance and enforcement.
