They don’t have a social media service, right? So where do they get the data to train their AI models ? Surely they need a lot, right? It would be nice if the public knew who cooperates with them (other than governments) and just boycott their services, or at least pressure them.

If company X doesn’t offer your data to governments officials, but offers them to Palantir which makes a profile of you that it offer to the same officials, isn’t that even worse ?

    They buy it from data brokers. Some governments are limited on what they can store where companies can store whatever they want as long as it is “legitimate interest”

    It is worse because if you gpdr Facebook they only have to remove you from their data sets not their partners who scalp the Facebook datasets.

      I always though discord was bad too, because all they clean is the username attached to your messages. So it can be very easy to know who sent them.
