They don't have a social media service, right? So where do they get the data to train their AI models ? Surely they need a lot, right? It would be nice if the public knew who cooperates with them (other than governments) and just boycott their services, or at least pressure them.
If company X doesn't offer your data to governments officials, but offers them to Palantir which makes a profile of you that it offer to the same officials, isn't that even worse ?
They buy it from data brokers. Some governments are limited on what they can store where companies can store whatever they want as long as it is "legitimate interest"
It is worse because if you gpdr Facebook they only have to remove you from their data sets not their partners who scalp the Facebook datasets.
I mean you shouldn’t work for them to begin with for a thousand moral reasons.
Honestly..fuck you if you work here anyway.
Alex Karp is a fascist.
I guess they buy it from data brokers and also their clients give them their data.
The short answer is basically everywhere they can find data.
Their clients feed them with data. Given that Peter Thiel is behind Palantir, you can also pretty much count on all the big social media companies cooperating with them.
One prominent example in Australia is via one of the two biggest nationwide supermarket chains, Coles: https://www.itnews.com.au/news/coles-to-run-palantir-analytics-suite-across-its-supermarkets-604698
Bro looks like the last Q-tip in the box
His hair looks like my un trimmed pubes.
Hear this crazy thought:
be as anonymous as you can and don't share your personal data over the internet.
They don't. They sell tools to governments and companies, that the clients use with their own data, that they already have. Palantir doesn't do the spying or data harvesting, and they don't have any data of their own, they develop and sell tools that clients use with whatever data the clients have.
They make the spy tools, they are not doing the spying.
I used to run in consulting circles, long enough time around execs and you start to see just how well the good ol boy clubs, and know-a-guy chains can make business deals between firms. Once you get the ball rolling on a project as a large enough entity, it doesn't take much to consult the digital equivalent of their rolodex to find vendor upon vendor for this part, this data broker, etc.
Cheaper in bulk too.
Interested in learning more about U.S. domestic policy? https://www.federalregister.gov/ Stay informed, stay aware. If you know the laws and policy they're putting forward, you can do something about it.
