Very cool how we’re letting a private company become the modern day SS. Especially hilarious when the dude in charge literally grew up in an ex-Nazi stronghold in Namibia.

Should be an absolute red mark to have this company or any affiliated with it in your CV. Absolutely anti-societal.

I would be very surprised if a future democrat government dismantled information sources built on palantir contracts.

They might change aspects of oversight. They might diversify to avoid contract capture.

Sorry to be blunt, but government tends to be amoral when it comes to public noise about things, and actual choices made. Agencies of all kinds from LEA out to health will ask for retained access to the joins over disparate data.

The same across the UK, Europe and the OECD. Plantir is going to do very well, into the future. Some politics will force change. The EU will eventually get robust, onshore, self controlled data analytics and management.

Isn't the data Palatir is using already in the hands of various levels of government? If so, they are just doing glorified database joins. The real issue here is if they start incorporating private data that shouldn't be accessible to governments, such as location data collected by Apple/Google phones, social media posts, interactions with AI tools, etc. Ultimately though, users should blame themselves for giving such data to Facebook, Google, and others. It's been clear from the beginning that those services were free because they were mass surveillance machines in disguise, and that every data point collected would be monetized.
