What an energizing #CablesOfResistance workshop:
Purge Palantir
Jeff and Karl managed to have a fruitful conversation with a packed room. Lots of people contributed facts.
Having attended MP @sonjalemke's presentation this afternoon, I was able to contribute the fact that QTS (part of #Blackstone and a frequent contractor of ICE and Palantir) is planning a new datacenter in far west of Germany – in Lippetal near Hamm, Westphalia.
I also shared a detail from a public hearing in Baden-Wuerttemberg where the police presented a device called a “data diode” as an alleged proof that no data from Palantir servers in Germany can flow to Palantir headquarters in the US – which is a ridiculous suggestion. Palantir servers – even if located inside German police authorities – are always run by Palantir staff, and they will surely find a way to exfiltrate data when asked by their bosses or the US government (which can force US companies to hand out data even if it is stored on foreign servers because of the US CLOUD and FISA acts).
Talk abstract from the schedule:
An open discussion and exchange about organizing against Palantir and big tech in the US and abroad.
Jeff and Karl are organizers working with grassroots organizations, activist collectives, and labor unions in the US to slow authoritarian consolidation and curtail the power of Big Tech.
