We cannot forget that DOGE has also stolen data from agencies. Most worrisome being the IRS who has records of all of your interest paying accounts and investments. One only need to use your imagination a little to what can happen. It is gonna be BAD.
So how do we poison the dataset?
I suspect they’re depending on data brokers who collect name and location from 3rd party apps. Set up fakes of a bunch of their metrics sending data, and you can fill it with junk
Would shit like incogni or delete me help in countering this somewhat?
No idea what level of defense is actually necessary; not having a phone, or any bills or official correspondence sent in your name to your home will suffice, but I don’t know what it takes which is less than that
First of all getting rid of the phone and internet will not remove what is already there. If I died right now all the data is still going to be there and not erased on account of me being dead.
I have been easing into reducing my online signature as much as possible over the past few years. It is far from perfect, I know. That is also the stuff going forward and does not handle what is already past.
Like I still watch videos on YouTube mostly, and I still have a compromised Gmail account (compromised in that no matter what I do someone or someones have been using it to sign up for shit that clearly isn’t mine). And while I no longer use my real for social media, and my last known usage of Facebook was from last summer (and I greatly diminished what I was doing over a few years at that point). None of this removes what data brokers already have.
So who can be held responsible for when the app fucks up ?
Article starts with “Palantir…” 'nuf sa(i)d.
Fucking hate how these shitheads take words from Tolkien’s works and bastardise them. Palantir, Anduril.
What’s next, a social credit system named “Silmaril”? An organisation that harvests the organs of homeless called “Rivendell”?
Just fucking stop.
I mean… Palantir showed Denethor false images of doom and despair fed by Sauron. It drove him to become a completely mad tyrant.
I think Palantir is a very apt name. They just don’t realise why.
They just don’t realise why.
Yup. Just how Sauron was able to see via the Palantiri, the Swiss army have concluded that they can’t rule out US intelligence accessing data through Palantir systems, despite reassurances.
American “reassurance” is a “trust me bro” with no backing and no consequences for them if they break it.
Tolkein’s idyllic structure for a society, the shire, is frequently analyzed through a lens of “is this anarchism?” and it’s not all that uncommon to conclude “yes”
all these fuckers read Tolkien and adopted the imagery of the villains. none of them realize that the message is that all the top level people are addicted to power. the people who actually get shit done, the hobbits, they are tempted by power because it’s tempting, but ultimately value singing songs, making tea, and eating potatoes too much to want to possess the ultimate power in the universe. almost everyone who comes into contact with the one ring wants to possess it forever. Bilbo’s first desire for it is to use it to help him escape a dangerous situation. Frodo is indifferent to it at first. Sam immediately hates it, feels guilt for letting Frodo carry it alone, and commits himself to destroying it.
You’re not supposed to read Tolkien and implement fascism. you’re supposed to read Tolkien and learn to value pacifism
I think that’s a Thiel thing. Tolkein was was one of his obsessions growing up. It doesn’t surprise me that he saw a plot device intended to be a warning as a really cool idea…
After listening to some of the Behind the Bastards on Thiel’s Antichrist obsession, his names for things are more understandable. Not by being sensible, by his demonstrated tendency to read things and take interpretations from them that make no sense to anyone else.
So yeah I’m sure he’s got some nutso bananas reinterpretation of what a Palantir is, etc.
He seems unwell, truly.
I mean, Thiel is part of the ‘basically an actual vampire irl’ club, right?
Gets infusions?
Palantir should be trialed for crimes against humanity and literature
Tolkien is rolling in his grave.
An organisation that harvests the organs of homeless called “Rivendell”?
Surely “Mordor” would be a better choice?
Every palantir executive and voting shareholder needs to be prosecuted and have their assets siezed to pay for the damage they’ve done to American democracy and Palestine
- to literature
What do you mean!
defiling much beloved fantasy literature by naming their shitty surveillance systems after them. In other words he should fuck off and call them Daddy Trump or sth else and leave LOTR alone.
The same government officials paying to use it are probably the people mainly invested in it.
Is it possible that people could use flock or palantir stuff to track and collect info on ice agents? Their security is shit, yeah?
ICE regularly uses fake license plates. You can do a bit, in that they dont swap constantly, but its not going to be as good as the tracking of private citizens
Flock’s security is shit.
Flock most certainly, I have no information on the palantir app.
Palantir is literally Evil Corp.
Some more reporting by GamersNexus:

oh awesome, Palantir the same company profiting off the genocide in Gaza
CEO Alex Karp has been a vocal supporter of Israel. In November 2023, he stated, “I am proud that we are supporting Israel in every way we can.”
After October 2023, Palantir has provided Israel with multiple AI-powered data analytics tools for military and intelligence purposes.
In January 2024, Palantir held its board meeting in Israel and entered into a “strategic partnership” with Israel’s Ministry of Defense to help Israel’s “war effort.”
In October 2024, Norway’s largest asset manager, Storebrand, divested its Palantir shares, worth $24 million, due to concerns that Palantir’s work for Israel might implicate Storebrand in violations of international humanitarian law and human rights.
The Palantir tools were used to analyze the data trove that Microsoft was hosting for Israel. It contained all of the cellular data (metadata and call recording/MMS contents/data traffic) for the entirety of Palestine.
That tool’s detection of ‘terrorists’ was used to justify a massive portion of the air strikes on Palestine. Their beta test resulted in a genocide.
Palantir is complicit in war crimes and genocide, never forget that.
Now the fascists are using the terrorist language to target their political opponents in the US and using the same tools of genocide.
Microslop is still hosting for Israel, even more than before. Don’t believe Brad Smiths recent lies about their data centers being healthy for communities either.
Yeah, it’s wild how Palestine has become the global laboratory for surveillance and state violence tech and tactics.
The overwhelming majority of Somalis who live in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area are U.S. citizens, PBS reported.
And going after Somalis while Israel is trying to get a foothold in Somalia is sus af
What the hell does Israel want in Somalia? I never heard that before.
Let’s give credit where credit is due - This is what the GOP wants. They have complete ownership of ICE’s terrorist activities and applaud what is being done.
Republicans could reign this in in a couple of days if ICE didn’t have their blessing. The same is true if our corporate/billionaire media began referring to what’s happening as GOP, rather than ICE activity.
This is also what the DNC wants. Vote socialist.

Seems like Doge might have been setup to facilitate this. They are cross referencing data from the HHS database. Big Brother.
The actual point of DOGE was to just backdoor and/or datadump as many government databases as possible and give them to Palantir. That’s it. That was the entire point. Everything else was simply theatrics.
And to just stoke Elon’s ego in letting him have his own fake agency and show people that they can fuck with the economy and suffer jo consequences whatsoever.
Also firing all the agencies and agents investigating him.
The OMB was really behind the firings, and Russell Vought is still there and still in charge.
And he’s a Christo-fascist from childhood.

The Boys is a documentary?
Don’t forget completely fucking government contractors.
There should be some sort of halal version of popular ETFs that get rid of certain universally excepted evil companies. I just invest in QQQM, VTI, VOO, etc and forget, but I have a friend who buys stocks weighted by NASDAQ except for Palantir manually. Too much of a headache for me lol.
There is S&P 500 Shariah or if you’re christian there is S&P 500 Christian Values
I’m actually Sikh, but I would assume that Muslims, Christians, and Atheists alike, also share basic human values like don’t give money to companies that use child labor, sell weapons to terrorits, encourage dangerous addictions, etc. I don’t really care if the ETF is targeted towards a specific religion or not. My main gripe would be seeing their stock exclusion list for haram stocks are based on generic human values and not banning companies that sell pork for example.
I did a bit of research online and think EVIF might be what I’m looking for.
Maybe using the word Halal and Haram was confusing since those are Arab words so mostly used by Muslims and Christians.
I would say that if you eat chocolate, drink coffee or use any technology you most likely give money to companies that indirectly use child labor or poison the planet so all those indexes mean nothing to me. My reply was ironic, sorry for that.
There are screened index funds like this https://www.justetf.com/en/etf-profile.html?isin=IE00BFNM3J75
Although we’ve now moved a good chunk to small capitalization and non-US to have less exposure to the coming tech bust.
Is that ETF (SNAW) you linked your default buy? I am relatively young and new to investing. I have some QQQM but wanted to move to something more ethical (ESG) and more diversified. Probably one of the ESG S&P 500 trackers like XVV, EFIV, RSPE.
Meanwhile my dad: you should really invest in this company Palantir…
My brother is a total Palintir supporter because he sees his stocks rising. I tell him he’s supporting evil but he says their CEO is a Democrat and has nothing to do with Thiel🙄. Like most Americans he’s ok with evil if it pays well.
The CEO is insane. He apparently self-describes himself as a socialist but is the highest paid CEO on earth and fantasises about dumping cyanide-laced urine on people protesting state-backed brutality
Bro misspelled National Socialist
That’s insane for someone calling themselves a socialist lmao
Yeah his Wikipedia page is a trip
8 years ago: buy Hugo Boss and Mercedes
If you did and held for say 30-40 years you would have an amazing return on investment.
Funny how a government can fail, but the corporations keep going
It’s almost as if society has fully/mostly shifted to a full-fledged Corporatocracy…
Who could have possibly predicted this?
