@fnf given information to a future foe is a bad idea ... buy European
@fnf are they out of their minds????
@fnf OMFG, are they insane? Why the actual fuck would anyone in EU even entertain the idea of giving data on our citizens to US tech, and especially to an overt fascist?
@fnf that's a US company??
@cor4office It's pretty much the worst US company you can imagine.
@fnf @cor4office why does it say "the technology from Bavaria", when it's almost certainly from a US fascist corporation?
@fnf also, pushback on the pre-crime aspect on this later in the article. Pushback that keeps being needed because of the strong authoritarianism in our societies.
This weird language can be found in the original German text, too. Probably because Bavaria and Hesse were the first German federal states to buy from Palantir (giving them access to their databases), and Bavaria is offering help rolling it out nationwide.
@fnf @cor4office who's behind this? Is it really just people finding 'solutions'?
Dreadful news
@fnf @EUCommission Shouldn't the Commission set policies to prevent member states from (checks notes) handing over data on EU citizens to the Eye of Sauron?
@fnf na super, dann haben die USA schon die nötigen Daten um uns zu verwalten, wenn sie einmarschiert sind.
@fnf Muppets.
@fnf Wasn't kidnapping your tourists enough indication that doing business with the US this cycle, especially with an 'intelligence' agency - just might be a bad idea??
@fnf OMG!!! Bavaria opens the door to the Orange Americas Palantir and I am sure, he will be very happy about that. Cause if one day, Russia wants to invade other European States (and they surely will), the US will voluntarily assist them with the help of American Data collectors like Palantir....the Orange hates Europe....but hey, here they are! All of our health datas, pls feel free to grab them...
.You dont need to be a politician, to know, that this is a very very bad idea!!!
Ffs, in that time and era? Given Thiel own puppets taking on signal about how they hate Europe and Trump wanting to declare war on us?
Selling themselves in the past to Russia with gas was not enough?
@fnf Does Germany not learn well? Should they be in special education classes and have the keys of government taken away until they understand that daggers kill?
@fnf nhs England has already given them our medical records
