This was pretty evident the second they named their company over the tool used by The Dark Lord Sauron and Saruman to spy on the actions of others from Lord of the Rings.
Sure. As far as I can tell Palantir sells the software that police, ICE and the military use to Face ID suspects, including "aliens" and Osama Bin Laden (way back when that happened).
Once you scan your face data and post it online, you can assume security agencies (Palantir clients) load it into Palantir software to complete your profile. Privacy is dead.
What's stopping them from lying about this? They lie about literally everything, why should anyone believe them about anything at all?
Hot. Hot, hot, hot.
Convinced we somehow ended up in the darkest timeline.
Just in time for the genocide of free thinkers. Lucky us!
What I find more concerning is, how did they get his reddit username?
The obvious strong link is reddit+email. Someone could have got into his personal, probably old mailbox, where original registration letters (with r/handle) and notifications still are. I find it more probable, but since government is under MAGA, they could've used some way to ask Huffman if some account matches the mail address.
This is why I resisted attaching emails to reddit accounts for years. Recently subs have started soft banning users without registered emails though, so I started just using throwaways.
Anything ever posted online can be archived and searched later. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to cross reference publicly available sources along with subpoenaed data.
The real enemy inside is the government, not the people.
People need to keep their government under more surveillance than the government does its people.
"deleted" eh?
Don't you guys have NSA? Just have a contact there and...
At one point it was possible to download every reddit comment ever. I think it was around 10 years ago I had a copy of that. I can't remember if it was from reddit directly or from some third party with scrapers. I recall the dataset being free... but it might have been free for me because I had an academic justification? Really don't recall.
Anyways, point being that you're delusional if you think anything you post online ever goes away. Secondly, you can be much less than palentir and have "deleted reddit account comments". Anyone can get them.
That’s not Palantir doing it. If you put the data in a MariaDB, you can access it, too. Is not MariaDB the culprit, or the one distributing the data?
