Germany Raises Red Flags About Palantir’s Big Data Dragnet

A court has issued strict limits on how police can pull innocent bystanders into big data investigations.

Any journalist who is happy *some* of you have had your #Twitter accounts restored, while others are STILL #suspended without a shred of justification, simply do not understand where #elonmusk is going with this.

He plans on monetizing the mob to humiliate you and keep you compliant. Your intentional targeting and discomfort will be a financially valuable form of entertainment.

Just because I was curious what it would look like, I made a retweet #graph of 19,319 tweets containing query "elonmusk" from today (12/16/22)

The #network includes any account replying to, mentioning or retweeting his tweets, supporters and detractors.

@mmasnick Here are screenshots of the 7 tweets in the email from Matt's tweet # 29. What he called "low engagement" tweets wrre either in the replies of large accounts or had popular voting hashtags. One had a thing about killing commies in his bio. Also note they were targeting R's & D's.

Pretty meh tweets if you consider the astronomical amount of bullshit that was circulating from large verified accounts then but I guess it's all "Free Speech" to Matt.

If you're over here, you may have missed that Matt Taibbi is pushing a new batch of "Twitter Files" over on the other site... and once again seems to not understand the context of ANYTHING he's looking at, while presenting it in the most conspiratorially misleading way possible.

Yes, the FBI alerted Twitter to tweets that told people to vote on the wrong day. And asked Twitter if they violated policy. That's basically it.

@RichardAshwell oh interesting, that worked for me too. I randomly tested some more urls and was able to tweet links to a few other instances but found zirk [dot] us is also blocked and I got the same error - that it's been marked potentially harmful. I assume that's not the only other instance that's blocked 🤷🏻‍♀️ idk what is going on
@expertenkommision_cyberunfall I just saw (comment above yours) that it depends on the instance. Glad to know that!
Oh I just realized there’s no inline translation on here. 😔 That’s too bad, hope it’s in the works.
@dagrano what a view 😍
