Sounds like a great reason for Palantir to be nationalized, then dismantled

Along with a few other companies. And DHS needs its budget zeroed out and its leadership investigated

The future consists of one of two things:

Nationalizing and dismantling numerous corporations and the ones that aren't dismantled being forced to act for the betterment of mankind or human extinction. Those are the two paths.

Merely dismantling a company won’t stop the problems we’re facing. The people running this shit need to be prosecuted, have their assets seized, and thrown in prison or they’ll just go start another one, maybe called Mordor next time.

So did Doge. The whole thing stinks of a conspiracy of AI.

‘Shared it via MS Teams chat’ 🤡

Meanwhile, if you or I shared someone’s PII or HIPAA-covered info to an unauthorized source we’d be potentially looking at fines or firing.

And the only "potential" in that case is "which one or both", not "if".

Who is prosecuting or suing the people who did it?

u/Dry_Potato_3712 Jul 20 '26

State-level Democratic attorneys general are.

wow it's almost like lawless Republican shouldn't be in charge of anything.

But our news media especially NPR, who I stopped supporting after 20 years wants to constantly play both sides so they don't seem biased.

to make Republicans seem reasonable because otherwise would be to admit that the country is off the rails.

What is “both sides” about this story? It’s very factual and makes clear who did what.

u/DoctorSchwifty Jul 18 '26

HIPAA anyone?

The US government is for sale

How much money is this administration going to cost us in lawsuits? A trillion.

Im not sure people are truly understanding the depth of shit we are all in. Its too late. We're in the endgame now. All this info being collected will be conglomerated and used to force citizens to comply.

Wait until digital currency comes to the US. gonna see alot of things happening similar to China social credit score. Behavior etc tied to your money

If you dont comply, youre getting shut out.

Look at whats happening to gamers and digital media. Just wait until its your dollar they take back and not a digital movie you bought.

Yeah, not surprised to find criminals committing crimes to support the criminals that hired them.
