    I like to imagine a world where headlines like this actually mean anything.

    “oh FUCK, im under pressure!? I have to change, this is crazy what was I thinking. Next I’ll be slammed and it’ll all be over!”

    his company’s growing roster of UK government contracts include the NHS, the Ministry of Defence (MoD), the Financial Conduct Authority and 11 police forces.

    Plus the US and whoever else.
    Under pressure my ass.

      That’ll blast em, surely they’ll understand that they have been ripped and lambasted for the betterment of themselves, and not a persecuted Christ figure who is the savour of mankind through divine suffering.

      Ah, but the Palantir man on the radio said that the NHS remains the legal data controller, so everything is fine and we can ignore the fact that all this means is that if Palantir do anything illegal with the data it’ll be the NHS that’s liable for letting them see it, so they can do what they want and if there’s any backlash, it’ll be the taxpayer who pays compensation.

      I would say just nationalize it but tbh it sucks, between reddit and twitter im surprised there aren’t enough bot accounts to cause some sort of digital singularity and not the kind the nerds want

      Edit: the X part made me think you were talking about twitter

          Are you saying it’s not possible to nationalize a foreign company when that’s literally why iran exists today as an Islamic republic (attempting to nationalize the AIOC, now British petroleum)

          Nationalizing tech shit is even easier because intellectual property is fake bullshit and there’s no need to possess physical infrastructure

            Twitters servers are in the US. What exactly do you plan to nationalise, digital infrastructure is not the same as an oil well in your borders.

            What are you going to do, send a strongly worded letter to the US saying “we demand you give us your source code and complete infrastructure setup so that we can duplicate it here”?
