South African billionaire Peter Thiel's company Palantir has received millions from the Trump Administration to compile data on Americans which will be abused for mass surveillance and profit.
OMG such an important conversation with John Binder. Thank you. I’m sharing with friends and family. As an activist and part of #teslatakedown I’m going to make it my mission to figure out how we make things difficult for Palantir and Thiel.
Palantir Technologies was founded in 2003 by Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, Joe Lonsdale, Stephen Cohen, and Nathan Gettings. Thiel’s political POV is week known.
Karo Peter met Thiel while studying law at Stanford. After completing his Ph.D. in Germany, Karp was approached by Thiel to help co-found a company that would use software to improve government decision-making, especially in the wake of 9/11. Karp brought a background in philosophy and investing, rather than technical expertise, and became Palantir’s CEO shortly after its founding. What the government is tasking the company to do is very much in contradiction with some of Karps earlier comments about personal data protection.
This could prove to be the most alarming mess that this administration has ever done, and that sang a lot .
This was a fantastic conversation. I've been screaming about the danger of Peter Thiel for a long time. He's a committed, apartheid-longing, fascist and his long game is now coming together. Terrifying. And, yet, this is not a "wedge" issue -- no one wants the "deep state" to have all their data, let along all our data in one place. The more people know, the better.
What a great conversation thank you so much. I've kind of intuitively thought that the primary purpose of Doge was data mining not fighting fraud waste and abuse. I appreciate the validation and will continue to follow Matt and Waj.
I could actually admire Palantir if their priorities were aligned and ethical. If they used their data to support Ukraine, for instance. But no, Thiel, Karp, Vance and the rest of these narcissistic freaks support authoritarians like putin. They consider themselves patriots, but they’re the worst kind of traitors.
Thank you for putting a spotlight on this! The tech bros are the real Nazis
Thank you for covering this. I don’t get how this is legal!!! And why Americans aren’t up in arms on this!!!
Waj is out here torching fascists all day every day 👏👏👏 bring back America Unhinged 💜
Indeed.

So is the private data of these oligarchs also available? Or just that of us peons?

We could start with a #PalantirTakedown
Melinda,agree,should start soon.
So they would have access to my medical records??!! What about HIPPA??
HIPPA? Unfortunately that’s probably already gone by the wayside.
Cmon America we need to start hitting the streets !!!!!!!!!!
