Good for River Dale but Alex Karp should be in prison and Palantir should be shut down. An enemy of the free world. Hopefully we'll see Palantir employees face

Good for River Dale but Alex Karp should be in prison and Palantir should be shut down. An enemy of the free world. Hopefully we'll see Palantir employees face prosecution if they ever dare to leave the USA.

  If anything, I'm interested in learning about why they should be in jail. I'm pretty uninformed on the subject.

Curious, I did a search sorted by popularity on HN. Palantir appears to be an impressively evil company: Palantir worked with Cambridge Analytica on the Facebook data it acquired Palantir is using War on Terror tools to track American citizens NYPD is canceling its Palantir contract Leaked Palantir Doc Reveals Uses, Specific Functions and Key Clients U.S. regulators accuse Palantir of bias against Asians How Peter Thiel’s Palantir helped expand the NSA’s global spy network Britain gave Palantir access to sensitive COVID-19 patient records in £1 deal

  I mean everything Peter Thiel funds is basically a technology out of Minority Report combined with a name from Lord of the Rings on it At this point you can probably reverse engineer that process. Invent something that persecutes minorities in some form, go to the lotr wiki, hit the random button and apply for a loan

  Here's how meaningless this smear campaign is: > Palantir worked with Cambridge Analytica on the Facebook data it acquired Google, PG&E, DoorDash, Edible Arrangements, worked with Cambridge Analytica... > Palantir is using War on Terror tools to track American citizens The government does using some of Palantir's tools. Does Palatir itself do that? > NYPD is canceling its Palantir contract So? > Leaked Palantir Doc Reveals Uses, Specific Functions and Key Clients So? > U.S. regulators accuse Palantir of bias against Asians Accuse being the key word. > How Peter Thiel’s Palantir helped expand the NSA’s global spy network How Google, PG&E, DoorDash and Edible Arrangements helped expand the NSA's global spy network. Maybe the NSA is the problem here, not service providers? > Britain gave Palantir access to sensitive COVID-19 patient records in £1 deal Why did Britain give them access to that?

  Careful, there is a lot of propaganda against Palantir because they stand against big tech, Silicon Valley, and its political agenda - which controls the majority of the media. For example: The first story, it was later confirmed Palantir declined it, even the whistleblower admitted that they were just talking but never amounted to anything https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/27/palantir-worked-with-cambridge-analytica-on-the-facebook-data-whistleblower.html https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/27/palantir-worked-with-cambrid... I also encourage you to read in detail MiJente's report on ICE, I had to stop midway due to personal attacks on Thiel, nothing related to the business, it seemed like propaganda whitepaper. There is no question how far big tech will go to brainwash the population with ads, as they profit from that business model and squash every opposition against them. Be very careful of what you read online, even in HN.

    From your own link: > “That was not an official contract between Palantir and Cambridge Analytica, but there were Palantir staff that would come into the office and work on that data,” Wylie told lawmakers. He added that Palantir staff “helped build the models we were working on.”

The tech community seems to take their wealth and freedom for granted. There is a lot going in the background to keep us safe, living in our bubbles. It is sad to see how Big Tech brainwashes people to be anti-gov when you are able to enjoy a stable country due to their unseen, underpaid and underappreciated work behind the scenes. Good for you, keep on living in your paradise bubble: pump anti-gov ads & hype/gamble crypto while taking COVID subsidies. Complain about missing free lunches & perks remotely while the world starves and begs for opportunities. Privileged and irresponsible as it gets. Take hard good look at yourself: your ancestors fought and died for your freedoms, it was not for you to abuse it.
