Statement summary

Rep. Warren Davidson said in House floor remarks that Palantir and Flock have an all-seeing eye network expanding around the country, and compared their tools with those used in China and across Europe.

“And under the old ruse of security and public safety, Palantir and Flock have an all-seeing eye network expanding around the country. These are the same types of tools used in China, and the same tools developed by the same companies, in use across Europe.”

Why we used this label

The reference point is whether networked license-plate reader systems such as Flock should exist and be used. Davidson says Flock's network expanded under the ruse of security and public safety and likens it to surveillance tools used in China, which fits Condemns.
