But looking into the contracts of the people building & maintaining the systems that *actually* exist... you've never heard of these firms.

I look at their websites and I am awash in visions of casual fridays.
-
Alls I'm saying is that when you have to make up an industry group and then use membership in that group as a superlative in a press release
-
Anyhow, not even Palantir would be interested in this. The registry isn't a big data problem. It's an integration/infra problem.
-
It's development contracts at 8% profit. It doesn't scale, it doesn't disrupt.
-
None of this work has any of the hallmarks of Silicon Valley exceptionalism. It's people who talk about fertilizer brands at dinner parties.
-
There's nothing unique here. You make a basic small data db and interface it with about 6 key other DHS/ICE/DOJ systems. That's it.
-
This is not to say that FB and Google get a pass. They don't. But our focus on ethics pledges etc needs to target the OTHER tech industry.

These firms LOVE writing vapid stuff like this. What. Is. Your. Actual. Work. Product.pic.twitter.com/BDkKmj46em

they don't need to sell anything, NSA already has it all.
-
the NSA also doesn't interface their data with local LEO, making it effectively useless as a "papers please" registry source
-
LEO not required. The Registry already exists. It's just a query against existing and current intercept data; add DHS + FBI
-
Even if you're adding DHS + DOJ that's 6 full-scale system integration problems. It's enormous.
-
Plus DOJ integration involves NCIC, which flows a breaking change down to every local LE agency.
-
your sources r probably (hopefully) better than mine, but I am operating on the assumption Feds r more integrated than said
-
They are very not. And deliberately so. It's a control.
