"At the heart of the claims is that while the underlying data may remain under the MoD’s control, any insights derived from that data do not. The implications of this, the insiders say, are far-reaching, especially because of the vast quantity of personal and other data the company has access to across UK government departments"

"A second source, who has a background in intelligence, said Palantir probably has “a complete profile on the whole UK population. They have visibility into wildly different focus areas, yet their data is all condensed into one foreign supplier’s control/visibility. At the very least I’d call that a security risk.”

Palantir, the US AI surveillance and security firm with hundreds of millions of pounds in UK government contracts, poses “a national security threat to the UK”, according to two anonymous MoD senior systems engineers with knowledge of the Palantir software systems the MoD is using.

‘It beggars belief’: MoD sources warn Palantir’s role at heart of government is threat to UK’s security

Experts say that claims UK data remains under government ownership miss the point that the company has the capability to build its own detailed picture of the British population, and even infer state secrets.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men.

“This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters....”

Welcome to the world of Alex Karp, one of the leaders of the new wave of techno-militarists in Silicon Valley:

"If they are not scared, they don’t wake up scared, they don’t go to bed scared, they don’t fear that the wrath of America will come down on them, they will attack us. They will attack us everywhere.”

Germany's government (among many others)* continues working hard on their surveillance state.

They want that #Palantir everywhere¹ & in anything (except their own space, obviously for "safety reasons"), and they keep expanding the #AI mass #surveillance, now even to their capital².

It's just funny to watch these absolute hypocrites, proof they have 0 principles, while talking about how liberal their country is.

German police expands use of Palantir surveillance software

Police and spy agencies are keen to combat criminality and terrorism with artificial intelligence. But critics say the CIA-funded Palantir surveillance software enables "predictive policing."

Did you know that in America, #ICE use #Palantir to hunt down "illegal aliens" via medical records?

Did you know vast swathes of NHS management were sold off to #Palantir in November 2023, where the company was awarded a £330 million contract to provide the software for the new "Federated Data Platform" to manage health data?

Did you know It is Reform's intention to remove "illegal aliens" too?

"What is happening in Minneapolis is a trial balloon. It’s where Trump is testing the limits of his power"...

...to suppress dissent, create fear & intimidation, & break people’s will.

Surveillance is central to this, & Thiel's Palantir is central to Trump's ICE operation. And now the UK.

In the UK, Palantir has access "to our most sensitive personal data.... the entire nation’s medical records."
