Dataminr

This is Palantir for Twitter

Twitter owns part of this company which raised half a billion dollars last year.

It analyzes every single tweet in real time. It is being weaponized by bad actors in law enforcement and the private sector.

Here’s how Dataminr pitches itself:

“exclusive one-of-a-kind data access to the entire Twitter firehose of 500 million daily public tweets.”

Strangely, the FBI lost access to Dataminr the week before the insurrection.

From 2015-17 this guy, Patrick Ryan, was a senior executive at Dataminr. He cooperated with HBGary and Palantir to infiltrate the left in 2010-11.

More soon.
