I think literally everyone is being monitored by the FBI. So you know, go nuts. Your "List" becomes less useful when everyone is on it.

I'm not a big fan of anyone who causes undue harm to civilians.

The issue is that if you ever cross them in a meaningful way they can just refer to this “excuse to persecute you” list and pull the trigger.

Same reason Microsoft had a dedicated datacenter recording every phone call made in Palestine.

They don’t need this to do that if things go that direction. They can make up whatever they want.

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Yeah I mean that's true but I'm saying it's less useful as a list of terrorists. It just becomes a list of everybody.

I think with palantir it actually works better with more people

Who cause undue harm to civilian

And it s fucking using your god given right to criticize a country You are the brainwash saying I dont deserve privacy cause I'm a nice boy that never did nothing wrong without even beginning to conceive what s the issue with it

Oh I'll use my God given right to criticize.

Shut the fuck up you don't know me; you know NOTHING of me, peon. I don't like Israel's government doing atrocities, I was just saying it slightly differently. I'm mad as hell about privacy but there's FUCKALL I can do about it. I weep for the myriad issues with my shit hole country.

I think you misundestood the comment... It's laughable at how many things they threaten to "put people on a list" over, and if true, that list is uselessly long and lacking meaning.

I also presume the harm to civilians was a criticism of the IDF...

yeah might have misunderstood the harm to civilian part big list arent as useless as before. We have massive data and with palanthir and all that shit they can prosecute you on stupid stuff as a retaliation
