Abandon all of these platforms and any others that associate in any way with Palantir or Thiel

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

Fucking Peter literally creating the very monster he claims to hate.

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Fucking never. Never ever. I'd sooner cut myself off from all technology and live in the woods than willingly give those creepy fucks my middle goddamn name. There is absolutely nothing good that will come from this company. The people at that company literally fucking movie villains. It's fucking crazy that absolutely anyone works with them, let alone world governments.

These large scale surveillance companies like Palantir, like Flock, they shouldn't exist. They should be outlawed. Our government needs probable cause and a warrant to surveil a suspect. If a normal civilian followed you around and filmed you, kept track of you at all times, they'd be arrested for stalking. But for some reason private companies can just watch every man, woman, and child in public and online, catalog all our movements, where we went, how we went there, who was with us, track what we do, what we read, who we know, how we spend our time, what we say, etc., and then permanently log all of that, use it to form dociers on us, predict our behaviors, or desires, ways to manipulate us, and then turn around and sell that data to governments, other companies and private parties. How the fuck is that legal.

Why in the fuck would you ever allow a private, profit-driven company to have that kind of power over your nation, let alone reward it with federal dollars, long term contracts and access to our law enforcement and military data and systems?

Worse, the founders and CEO are unhinged wannabe dictators trying to form their own sovereign techno-states. They're not even secretive about that. And our goverment is fucking funding these nuts and giving them every detail of the lives of our citizenry, our goverment officials, our military... how fucking stupid do we have to be, guys? I wish I could say it's just Trump but it's not. It's mind boggling.

It's a great way to kill those products. That's maybe the only upside.

If people cared about "the children" they wouldn't let them on the Internet until they were 21.

If people cared about humanity they wouldn't allow "the algorithms" to exist or let social media or news media exist they way it does now.

Thats going to finally break my reddit addition, and ill bet any amount of money im not alone.

I’m permaband from Reddit but I miss some local subs. I hope this encourages people to move away to something else.

Literally Spez right now...

(I'd post the uncensored image but IIRC Lemmy World is German-based and have strict laws against Nazi iconography)

He's wilfully given the data of users who have criticized Trump and ICE, AND he looks like a spitting image of Tintin...

So no more bots on Reddit then right????

My kid wants to be verified on Roblox sooooooo bad so he can defend himself against trolls. It’s actually been a good lesson in ignoring those idiots like water off a ducks back.

I guess I'm compelled not to use Roblox, Reddit or Discord, then.

"Compelled" *evil shojo laughing all the way to the delete button"

Over my dead body. These services can go fuck themselves and die.

Peter fucking thiel has too much money and is backing everything, for example PayPal and stripe that are processing 80% of e-commerce payments

The guy that said:

Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain.

I genuinely don't understand how is he still free and alive. He's as close to a real life devil you'd find. In his own words - he's working on societal collapse to gain more power. Can someone do something already?

those systems don't even work and can be so easily tricked.

And I'm compelled to tell them to suck my ass.

palintirs AI desperate need to get clients, so when the bubble burst they wont be hurt that much.

That is so strange.
