@jim This is a very specific niche but it would be funny if TrumpXTechnofascists kill off the global software/services market.

Palantir's founders Alex Karp (CEO) and Peter Thiel (chairman) are fascists, and the Palantir Manifesto reflects that:

They are evil. The world order they strive for is something akin to Russia, where fascist oligarchs rule with impunity.

It's not a snub. It's common sense as the US uses all information they gather to their own advantage.

@jim Can you say "eat the rich" in German??

[ponygirl@mastodon.social]

@mathieui @jim C'est dommage.

@jim It's BTW the ugly historical argument behind the continental European “fetish” with privacy and the GDPR.
