Scars, location data, immigration status, eye color, much more. Created by Palantir www.404media.co/inside-a-pow... - ThreadSky

Weird. I wonder how Peter Thiel got access to all this highly sensitive and previously protected data.

jacktatttran.bsky.social•4 days ago

The government gave it to them?

Peter Thiel is pure evil

I randomly discovered a software engineer working for Palantir and it's so far taken my entire fortitude not to get myself banned from LinkedIn

A prior boss works there. I don’t know what to say to them.

“First they came…” but make it a database.

They were more or less using databases then too. IBM supplied hardware that was used by the Nazis to commit their atrocities

tristanbuckner.bsky.social•4 days ago

I knew IBM went Nazi, but I didn’t realize they could sort punch cards like that pre-digital computer. Pretty horrendous collaboration.

This was one of the defining features of the Holocaust, the industrialization of genocide. Colonial genocide often involves bureaucracy but the Holocaust automated it. We are now technological magnitudes beyond this and Gaza was the testing ground for all this.

Looks like how the Nazi's went for the Jews... 🥺

just with today’s technology it’s 100x more efficient

Important reminder that Thiel has been perfecting this kind of surveillance in partnership with local police for years. We could have and should have stopped it then.

lucindacatchlove.bsky.social•4 days ago

And testing it in Gaza.

Our elected officials do realize that this benefits no one right?? Especially not when it’s in the hands of a guy who has said on record that democracy is inefficient. They won’t have a job without democracy…

Yet he won’t release his tax returns, show us his health records or take all the NDAs off so many!
