#EU #Germany #Palantir #PredictivePolicing #BigData #DataAnalysis: "Police use of automated data analysis to prevent crime in some German states was unconstitutional, a top German court said on Thursday, ruling in favor of critics of software provided by the CIA-backed Palantir Technologies PLTR.N.

Provisions regulating the use of the technology in Hesse and Hamburg violate the right to informational self-determination, a statement from the constitutional court said.

Hesse has been given a Sept. 30 deadline to rewrite its provisions, while legislation in Hamburg — where the technology was not yet in use — was nullified."

Warum ist das wichtig? Weil wir mit dem #AI-Act in Brüssel gerade einen Vorschlag auf dem Tisch haben, mit dem wir sogenanntes #predictivepolicing in Europa begrenzen könnten! Ich setze mich dafür ein, aber ob wir eine Mehrheit dafür bekommen ist noch unklar.
