"We may work with Israel, but so does Amazon, and so does Microsoft. We may work with the Trump administration supporting the immigration enforcement arm of his government, so does Amazon, so does Microsoft … why do we get singled out?". - Head of Palantir Europe
Good point - let's boycott them too...
@GeofCox THE openly fascist manifesto of the boss is a significant difference. But boycotting the fellow travellers is sound political strategy.
Yea - I agree with the replies that have said Palantir is worse than the others, and as @huntingdon says, 'you gotta start somewhere'.
I was partly just trying to expose the boss' 'two wrongs make a right' argument.
I'd say boycotting Palantir altogether would be good, but with the others simply seeking out and using more ethical alternatives where possible.
@GeofCox @huntingdon Yeah, I just wanted to add in that detail to the litany!
@GeofCox wow, I didn’t expect Palantir to make my argument for me
You gotta start somewhere. I would have picked Palantir, too. It's the most insidious and ambitious.
@GeofCox
Sure, let's boycott what we can...
But those other businesses have functions *besides* data collection. Palantir is nothing but a data mine. An EVIL data mine at that.
@GeofCox Don't forget google!
he's absolutely right. Banish them all!!
