They don’t have a social media service, right? So where do they get the data to train their AI models ? Surely they need a lot, right? It would be nice if the public knew who cooperates with them (other than governments) and just boycott their services, or at least pressure them.
If company X doesn’t offer your data to governments officials, but offers them to Palantir which makes a profile of you that it offer to the same officials, isn’t that even worse ?

Alex Karp is a fascist.
Honestly…fuck you if you work here anyway.
They buy it from data brokers. Some governments are limited on what they can store where companies can store whatever they want as long as it is “legitimate interest”
It is worse because if you gpdr Facebook they only have to remove you from their data sets not their partners who scalp the Facebook datasets.
Yeah the whole idea that “the government isn’t allowed to collect/store that information” is immediately invalidated when they just buy it from private companies and get it from foreign countries spying on their own citizens through intelligence sharing agreements.
What do you think Elon Musk is doing with all the data they pulled out of all the agencies they infiltrated at the beginning of the presidency. It’s all being sold to these fascist corporations.
Hear this crazy thought:
be as anonymous as you can and don’t share your personal data over the internet.
Even if you never went online, heaps of data about you is collected and sold.
- ALPRs collect and sell your car’s movement and location data.
- Stores you shop at collect identity data and share your purchases and consumer behaviors, even when you pay cash.
- Banks and financial institutions share information about your assets, financial holdings, purchases, and electronic transactions.
- Governments mandate that all sorts of information about you is public.
And if you are online, the “be as anonymous as you can and don’t share your personal data over the internet.” statement makes it sound easy, which is far from true. It’s a constant game of whack-a-mole where one needs incredibly disciplined to compartmentalize and segregate login sessions across browsers and devices. If one isn’t technically skilled and constantly vigilant, it’s a losing battle. That’s why awareness and campaigns that support privacy focused regulation are important.
As I said “as anonymous as you CAN”, which is better than posting the photos of your birthday on Instagram or whatever people do these days.

That’ll protect your data from random stalkers or smaller companies, but Palantir has so many data brokers and the cooperation of the government that you can’t function in society without giving them data.
