I really need to dig up my credentials so I can login in & see this article!

Glad to be a paid supporter! Alas for me, a pretty silly one.

markwatson1989.bsky.social•5 days ago

Palantir you say? The same Palantir in which Peter Thiel holds a major stake? The same Peter Thiel that is closely associated with Elon Musk (PayPal anyone)? The same Elon Musk that is part of DOGE and the Trump administration? Wow, didn’t see coming.

lifecoachjen.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yep. Same Palantir that provided targeting data for civilians to be murdered in Gaza.

xbananabreathx.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don't like this.

lifecoachjen.bsky.social•5 days ago

You mean this same Palantir?

Palantir - another gem from Thiel. The same clwn who gave us vance. Another corrupt, white nationalist immigrant who came to the US intent on tearing down our country.

THIEL is the type of immigrant we should be shipping off to El Salvador without due process... along with Murdoch & Musk.

pat2000np.bsky.social•5 days ago

By using AI with no or little oversight means that innocent people will be deported or worse, sent to El Salvador with no due process.

Does anyone knows if Starlink satellites use Palantir or something similar for data mining subjects around the world? Like monitoring all the internet use of particular users of the satellite?

mistym.bsky.social•5 days ago

Good question. I’d like to know the answer to that myself as the Australian Gov is starting to use Starlink & it’s the only decent internet available in rural areas here.

janpieter.bsky.social•5 days ago

At minimum use a good (European) VPN 😬. Assuming Microsoft doesn't log any keystroke on your computer into an NSA database yet.

The Panopticon is digital and Musk is perfecting it.

Maybe this would be a good time to invest in tattoo removal emporiums

catsbetterthanmen.bsky.social•5 days ago

And yet they still managed to send 7 women to an El Salvador prison for men, and sent AT LEAST one innocent man there.

I recall this being #3 on the list in 1995 of how the internet would change our lives

If they are using this on immigrants, they will also use it against American citizens.

Just like the SS.

Why immigrating “the right way” was always a sucker’s game.

Ol' Wormtongue Thiel strikes again. :(

Tat the Musk rat up and deport him to Venezuela for treason. Ah, in a perfect world. 🤭

dosemakestoxin.bsky.social•5 days ago

So we decided to take the social credit idea from China and run with it huh? We couldn't have taken ideas like some of the incredible and rapid infrastructure and transit build outs that they do?

thebluenami.bsky.social•5 days ago

thank you for this! i was hoping progressive media would connect the dots and make sure we don't forget peter thiel and palantir's role in all this

nothing good ever comes from a company that is trying to be so secretive, b/c the nature of their business is nefarious

yllekonadnerb.bsky.social•5 days ago

is this the US version of the SS ??

No doubt that search criteria could be narrowed to include each and every one of us

Peter Thiel needs to be arrested ASAP just as much as Elon

This database takes in info from across the government and allows for searching through other databases, including one of student visas, location data, automatic license plate reader data, hair color, tattoos, port of entry, etc. Includes US citizens

hanslunshof.bsky.social•5 days ago

The security State is with us, one thought about China but USA is now close in intrusion of private sphere

pearatty.bsky.social•5 days ago

Imagine if they put this much money and effort into finding and incarcerating rapists or domestic abusers.

iskaffeskymann.bsky.social•5 days ago

They just need to go to the next WH Cabinet meeting. There will be lots of rapists in that room.

jasonkoebler.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is one of multiple databases and search systems that could be used to filter according to characteristics that people who ICE is deporting have. The fact that we don’t know exactly what is being used and why and how is a problem

jasonkoebler.bsky.social•5 days ago

One of the specific, government-stated risks of this tool is that it will include people who are not supposed to be in there, who otherwise wouldn’t be subject to investigation, and false positives from faulty data shared across agencies

jasonkoebler.bsky.social•5 days ago

Government also notes that it can be used “identifying, arresting, and removing aliens in a way that is consistent with current enforcement priorities.”

Highlights the fact if you build a powerful tool under one administration/set of assumptions, circumstances can easily change at any time

These tools are just waiting for someone evil to pick them up and use them.

BlueSky posters?

janpieter.bsky.social•5 days ago

Of course. All Bluesky posts are being scraped and copied into various databases. Better to have than to need.

Are there NO people left in ICE, DHS, ATF, FBI, SS, or other agencies with ANY INTEGRITY?

Welcome to the virtual panopticon.

Thiel should be held accountable for his crimes against humanity.

hejodernoh.bsky.social•5 days ago

Reminds me of the stupid joke about the guy looking for his car keys under the bright street light although he lost them in the dark forest.
Much simpler to deport rule-abiding people you know everthing about, although they didn't do anything wrong, rather than undocumented people.
