Where in the article is that stated?
- drcongo 9y agoIn the title?
- jonnybgood 9y agoIt’s clickbait. It doesn’t state it or give a citation for it anywhere in the actual article.
- lgl 9y agoI don't think it's directly stated in the article. But with a little common sense we can probably safely assume that a company that is designed specifically to analyze huge amounts of data for law enforcement agencies, governments and 3 letter agencies will probably have a lot more data than Facebook. In fact, we can probably also assume that people's Facebook data has already been inputted in Palantir's system as just another data source. Sure that's a lot of assumptions and probabilities, but on the other hand: Peter Thiel.
- drcongo 9y agoYeah, but you edited your post to specify "in the article" after I'd posted. At the point of my reply, it was correct.
- eptcyka 9y agoI guess I should've prefaced my comment that it's more of a response to the comments that existed here before I posted - most people just stated that they don't care and they were aware of the fact that such businesses have all this information.
