@kali @mf_analysis It's more than that.

Palantir is basically an enabling tool for the authoritarian right's agenda.

It takes the mountains of data generated through surveillance capitalism, and sells it as a product for intelligence, law enforcement, and defence agencies.

If weaponises creepy tracking codes and location tracking apps, making it part of the government surveillance apparatus.

So all the ways enshittified tech companies track you become all the ways the government tracks you.

It says to authoritarian governments: We'll sell you a mass surveillance apparatus for a fee that makes the Stasi and KGB look like the EFF by comparison.

That data is being used right now to identify the people that ICE will snatch off the street.

These European bankers know all of this.

And they're saying: 'Yes, we will put our capital into this scheme as long as it makes us a profit.'

@Em0nM4stodon it's #Cyberfascism and it's nit enough to merely force them to backpeddle, but DEMAND #HumanRightsBack - WITH INTEREST!

And not just refuse to comply, but actively sabotage #SurveillanceTech!

@[email protected] thus the only valid reaction is to *proactively refuse to comply* and *actively sabotage such #cyberfascist efforts! - I mean, what's next? - #Russia's #Roskomnadnozr demanding *"#KYC"* of #Users for using #WiFi chipsets? - *"P.R."* #China's *"Cybersecurity Administration"* demanding system-wide blocking of #VPN & @[email protected] / #Tor? Just like noone should comply with that #cyberfascism, so should noone comply with #US-based cyberfascism either! - Use #Monero and give #ITAR the finger… - Refuse to finance #terrorism by refusing to create taxable revenue for U.S. corporations! I certainly won't comply with cyberfascism in @OS1337 and any *"#AgeVerification"* is #fascist bullshit under false pretense that needs to be outlawed!

"A French aircraft carrier was tracked in real time via a sailor’s Strava activity, exposing a persistent operational security flaw.

Le Monde revealed that France’s aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle was tracked in real time through an officer’s activity on the Strava app. A sailor unknowingly shared running data from the ship, exposing its location in the Mediterranean. The French sailor’s public Strava profile, set as “public,” revealed the near real-time location of the aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean, near Cyprus and Turkey."

This is not an isolated incident. In 2018, Strava’s global heatmap revealed the locations and patrol routes of military bases in places like Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq, simply because soldiers were recording their runs.

More recently, Strava data has exposed the movements of security teams protecting world leaders, including routes that revealed private residences and travel patterns.

There have even been cases where activity data from naval bases was used to infer submarine patrol schedules, based on when personnel suddenly stopped logging workouts.

Also who decided that #Ads on #TVs (as predicted by James Rolfe) should be even legal?

Seriously, everytime someone pays legitimately for content, they get treated worse than someone pirating it!

As for the #Enshittification of #TV|s:
- Don't buy that garbage, get a "#DigitalSignage #Display" from like #illyama [#ProLite] or any "Stupid Screen", grab yourself some #NUC or whatever and put @Kodi / #Kodi on it and enjoy your media the way you like them, without #Adware and #SurveillanceTech spying on you!

Keer op keer komt Meta in het nieuws met zaken die het daglicht eigenlijk niet kunnen verdragen. Het is mij een raadsel waarom toch zoveel mensen gebruik blijven maken van de Meta producten 🤷‍♂️

This appeared on my android phone. I don't know what any of this is. No option to opt out of what to me seems like entirely unnecessary and alarmingly invasive technology.

Come on phone manufacturers! Make a model with opensource software!
