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 ?

    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.
