Hope he finds that woman, conductor and police chief and sues their ass (like any good it will do, but at least the internet can make a public example of her).
Well these kind of companies are great at finding loopholes. Not sharing data and not consulting using your overall understanding of the playing field is different. And in most cases the latter means "refined understanding of statistical analyses" which is what most other companies needing data will be interested in.
I do agree that their main business model is analysing data for clients but that does not mean that they can't generate more revenue by other means. It seems like many big tech companies have a facade of a service that they provide but they have a lot of mechanisms behind the service that generates revenue for them. See Facebook, twitter etc whose data/platform has been used countless time to steer political decisions (unfortunately used mostly by right wing organizations).
most likely drive away a lot of their clients.
You would think so but today there are still left leaning politicians, academicians etc using twitter, about a year after Felon Musk started extreme right wing fear and war mongering. All Palantir needs to do is amass sensitive and critical data across many different fields and consult interested parties (without breaking any of the contracts so they are not liable). It will be ages before they will start losing enough clients that their main business model will become unprofitable. Anyway, by then they will likely have enough money/influence to hop anywhere they want.
I know this is all circumstantial so I will finish by adding one more circumstantial data. Look at the picture below and tell me Palantir will play fair with all the extremely sensitive knowledge it gains across defense, health, energy, transport etc
So palantir analyses pretty sensitive data, for instance health data from NHS. They may not be able to share the data itself but are there any safeguards against them using the knowledge they gain from these analyses to consult health insurance companies for outrageous amounts of money so insurance companies can fuck people even more by grinding stats?
Same goes for them analysing surveillance data. Any safeguards against Palantir consulting fascist political parties on results of these analyses so they can more efficiently carry out fear mongering?
I think it is more of a threat along the lines of "if you tax me more, I will play even dirtier to keep my wealth, lay off people in companies I am a major shareholder of etc and therefore economy will be worse". And politicians know that many people will blame the government for any damage to the economy and they therefore bend the knee not to lose their seats. Everything really would be better if people understood who their real enemy is.
I am not sure the other side shuns vaccination because they are afraid of autism. I am sure there are many among them who would not terminate a pregnancy even if they found out in time that their child would have down's syndrome (I don't condemn or condone this, just giving an example). They only don't vaccinate because "the libs tell them to", so more like a cult fanaticism behaviour. I think it is that simple and stupid not even something pragmatic.
Lol I'm loving how this all turned into a "who can produce the absolutely most outrageous bullshit praise for Charlie Kirk" contest like the winner is gonna get to sit on daddy Trump's lap. Very heavy cult vibes, but one of those based on religion where the leader sexually molests members for favours.
With labour probably down to sth like %15 and reform way more than that, they are just trying get back some of their voters that they lost by being genocidal scums. Every month there are demonstrations with half a million people in London walking & cursing at him. That is a significant number so at some point he has to pretend like he cares.
lol this bill is just a bait from the republicans as it seems. If you vote yes, you vote for making Kirk a hero, if you vote no you vote against stopping political violence (the other part of the bill condemns political violence) so republicans can say "see left supports political violence". If you are a democrat you lose in both cases (which is the better of two bad outcomes is debatable). Fucking politics is and has always been a game of thrones serving the interests of the powerful but it is even more so with republicans in charge.
