Working with the Trump administration, the data company could be used to target the president's opponents
In JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, a "palantr" is a seeing stone that can be used to distort truth and present selective visions of reality. During the War of the Ring, a palantr falls under the control of Sauron, who uses it to manipulate and deceive.
Palantir Technologies bears a striking similarity. It sells an AI-based platform that allows its users " among them, military and law enforcement agencies " to analyze personal data, including social media profiles, personal information and physical characteristics. These are used to identify and surveil individuals.
Let's not forget abominable oligarch Mark Zuckerberg. After callously de-funding a school for under-privileged children in California, this ignoble miscreant crashed a classified White House meeting with USAF generals. The USAF High Command was perplexed as Zuckerberg doesn't have the security clearances necessary to learn about US stealth fighter technology. Apparently Zuckerberg just "showed up" unannounced: www.independent.co.uk
