I love how mask off they were in choosing Palantir as their dipshit company name. Like, “Yes, hello, you are now calling Anakin Skywalker’s Daycare Service. Are you looking to enroll your child.” Bet our political elite would love that one.
Nah, let’s be honest. Immensely wealthy private companies foresee a potentially negative impact to profits if an event on the scale of the fucking Super Bowl is used as a dog and pony show/display of power by the current regime. Wealth is power, and when power talks, even authority listens.
True. I guess I’m just jaded enough that I hope for anything other than “zero consequences for the officer; plus he’s still working as LEA somewhere” That shit’s actually terrifying
I was JUST thinking about this. What a good time to hop on lemmy. Happy ending.
Well, good. That does give me some hope, at least.
Yeah, I remember hearing the same thing now that you mention it. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if anything materializes from going that route. If nothing else, Trump at-least shouldn’t be able to pardon state charges, as far as I’m aware. So maybe there’s hope for accountability in there somewhere.
At the risk of asking a stupid question. Is this really going to help now that Trump has demonstrated that his DOJ has the power to remove criminal investigations from a local level and reassign them to a federal level? Where they will then (Of course) refuse to even investigate let alone prosecute. Is there some other way to seek accountability right now? Or do we literally have to wait for the next administration to do anything with all the evidence being recorded right now?
Babe, wake up, a new Isekai anime plot just dropped.

Just adopt a CCP style social credit system already. Why all of this pussyfooting around being a totalitarian, censorship focused, surveillance state? Just do it. Give the good people of UK a solid reason to be a little bit more French again.
You see, there’s the problem. Traveling to Europe to do these kinds of things is millionaire behavior. Shyiiit, dirty commoners could do that. Ya really gotta climb up there into the billionaire behavior department before you can start doing stuff like this and expecting to get away with it. Be a proper world-class scum bag, at least rent your own private island first. Sheesh. This is like psychopathic villainy 101 here. Unbelievable.
Okay, I feel like the part that people are skipping over is the “cooperating with authorities on legal data requests” part. No. As a privacy company; You DO NOT save and store ANY information apart from what is crucially and imminently necessary to run your service. Anything beyond that is a blatant conflict of interests and should not be trusted. Corruption and data sharing that CAN happen, WILL happen when it comes to data security based companies. Full stop.
This overused: “It’s not x, but y” giveaway is one of the most annoying AI ticks for me. I give them credit for actually using a colon instead of the em dash. Buy yeah, that’s just about the only step they took to obfuscate their AI text
