Gosh, you know what I love? #AI. And #precrime and a hallucinating machine that determines if a human gets detained. That's fun, right?
We're all about giving companies like #Anthropic, and #OpenAI and #Meta, and Musk's Folly #X to create dossiers on "activists who don't like AI". We love that, right? We're not at all buying angle grinder blades in bulk. We would never do that. We love AI. AI is Big Brother. Who could hate #BigBrother? Also, we've always been at war with Eurasia.
This is a really terrifying article. The fact that #anthropic is calling the cops on people for precrime, but won't show any evidence...why are they allowed to do that?
Also, man...can we get like... a fireside girl patch for every watch list we get on? Cause at least that would be cool.

Hypervisible shared this recently. "Permawatch" from Gemini/Google. That's my name for it, it describes in one word what's happening. Being watched and recorded all the time, everywhere, in your home, and maybe other spaces you might occupy like cars, offices... He shared a Verge article but that's paywalled, so here's another article on it.
1984 was so accurate.

From the article:
"...“The government’s increasing use of mass surveillance — whether that surveillance comes via ALPRs, financial records, or the like — coupled with predictive policing is a recipe for tyranny,” Rob Frommer, senior attorney at the Institute for Justice, told 404 Media. “We fought a revolution for the idea that we are citizens, not subjects. Yet schemes like CBP’s Predictive Intelligence Targeting Team treat all Americans as if they are potential suspects. This is not just wrong, it’s unconstitutional, and IJ will keep pushing courts and Congress to end this attack on Americans’ security.”..."

404 Media is revealing the name of Border Patrol's predictive policing units, which analyze financial data and have local cops pull people over. The people are not suspected of any particular crime.

What is #Palantir? And why is this corporation so dangerous?
The company conducts #MassSurveillance in the service of #StateViolence, from #ICE’s #deportation machine to the #genocide in #Gaza.
By Kenny Morris, Feb 11, 2026"#PeterThiel is a central co-founder of Palantir. He is a #billionaire venture #capitalist, conservative libertarian, and an early investor in Facebook who made much of his money from founding PayPal. According to Theil, 'I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.
[...]
How can we stop Palantir?
"#AFSC has joined a collective of #ImmigrantRights groups, #PalestineSolidarity organizations, #EnvironmentalJustice advocates, #LaborUnions, and many others working to hold Palantir accountable and stop its expansion into our lives. You can join us by finding or organizing a local group to pressure our universities, hospitals, and other institutions to cut all ties to Palantir.
"Visit our #PurgePalantir campaign page to:
- Contact the leadership of hospitals, universities, and other corporations using Palantir to urge them to #divest from the company.
- Find a map of Palantir offices, some of its corporate clients, and elected officials who have received money from Palantir. Use it to find where the company is in your community and plan an action to challenge it.
- Are you a health care worker? You can join organized nurses and doctors across the U.S. pushing the surveillance company out of our hospitals [and the #NHS in the #UK]."Learn more about the company and join the growing campaign to stand up to Palantir."

From 2024: #Palantir allegedly enables #Israel's #AITargeting in #Gaza, raising concerns over #WarCrimes
How #USIntelligence and an American Company Feed Israel’s #KillingMachine in Gaza
by James Bamford, 12 Apr 2024
"... One of #Unit8200’s newest and most important organizations is the Data Science and #ArtificialIntelligence Center, which, according to a spokesman, was responsible for developing the #AI systems that 'transformed the entire concept of targets in the #IDF.' Back in 2021, the Israeli military described its 11-day war on Gaza as the world’s first '#AIWar.' Israel’s ongoing invasion of Gaza offers a more recent—and devastating—example."

#Palantir: Why is the #Israel-linked #surveillance firm embedded in #Britain's #NHS?
Medical professionals, #lawyers and #activists express concern over the #Techgiant's government contracts given ties to #USImmigration and #IsraeliSurveillance operations
By Fleur Hargreaves, January 28, 2026
"The #UKGovernment is facing growing pressure over its decision to award large government contracts to #PalantirTechnologies, a US-based data and #ArtificialIntelligence [#AI] company.
"Partially funded by the #CIA at its inception, the company has faced heavy scrutiny after receiving a £330m ($413m) contract with #NHSEngland in 2023, which is up for renewal in 2027.
"It was also recently awarded a £240m deal with the British #MinistryOfDefence (#MoD) in December, three times more than a previous contract signed in 2022.
"Palantir entered into a strategic partnership with the MoD in September, in which it pledged a £1.5bn investment to 'boost military AI' and to 'work together to transform lethality in the battlefield', according to a government press release.
"Aspects of the deal included developing a so-called '#KillChain', which uses advanced data management and #AI to better strike 'enemy target[s]'.
"This increased integration of the tech firm within the UK’s health service and armed forces has raised alarm among campaigners, who point to the company’s involvement in the #genocide in #Gaza and US President Donald Trump’s lethal campaign against unauthorised immigration.
"British MPs have also raised concerns about Palantir’s defence contracts following an investigation that revealed the #SwissArmy had rejected the company over fears that US intelligence agencies would gain access to sensitive data."

#Palantir Pays Zero Federal #IncomeTax Despite Explosive Growth, Largely Due to #Trump Tax Law
by Matthew Gardner, February 17, 2026
"The CEO of Palantir, the tech company known for equipping #ICE with #AITools that hack into people’s phones, recently said he runs 'the first company to be completely #AntiWoke.' This week, we learned that a key part of being anti-woke is, apparently, not paying taxes.
"In its recent earnings call summarizing fiscal year 2025, a Palantir exec crowed that the company’s explosive growth and profitability for the year was 'one of the truly iconic performances in the history of corporate performance.' But the company neglected to mention one weird trick that also fueled its 2025 growth: this is the third straight year that a profitable Palantir has avoided paying even a dime of federal income tax on its earnings.
"Palantir’s annual financial report, released this week, shows the company enjoyed $1.5 billion of U.S. income and paid exactly zero federal income tax. At the 21 percent federal income tax rate profitable companies theoretically pay, Palantir should have paid $330 million.
"While the company used a variety of tax breaks to achieve this, the most obvious is the new tax break enacted by Congress at the behest of President Trump last summer. The 'One #BigBeautifulBill' allows companies to (retroactively) immediately deduct their research expenses, rather than writing them off gradually over time in line with the income generated from that research. Palantir reduced its taxes by over $400 million using this provision.
"U.S. #taxpayers are paying multiple times for the services provided by Palantir, which the Trump administration finds so valuable. First, we pay the bill for the government contracts signed with the company, for example, the deal signed in April for Palantir to provide ICE with a system to track immigrants. Then we pay again with subsidies provided through the tax code, including the $400 million for the 'research' the company has done to create these innovations in government surveillance.
"It’s not news that helping the Trump administration with its policy goals can be enormously profitable. But it’s important to recognize that Palantir’s recent success has been helped substantially by a far more pedestrian tool: handouts from American taxpayers."

#Google Fulfilled #ICE Subpoena Demanding #StudentJournalist’s #Bank and #CreditCard Numbers
#AmandlaThomasJohnson didn’t know how much information ICE requested in a subpoena until months later. Google never gave him a chance to fight it.
Jessica Washington. February 10 2026
Excerpt: "Amandla Thomas-Johnson had attended a protest targeting companies that supplied weapons to Israel at a #CornellUniversity job fair in 2024 for all of five minutes, but the action got him banned from campus. When President Donald Trump assumed office and issued a series of executive orders targeting students who protested in support of #Palestinians, Thomas-Johnson and his friend Momodou Taal went into hiding."Google informed Thomas-Johnson via a brief email in April that it had already shared his metadata with the Department of Homeland Security, as The Intercept previously reported. But the full extent of the information the agency sought — including usernames, addresses, itemized list of services, including any IP masking services, telephone or instrument numbers, subscriber numbers or identities, and credit card and bank account numbers — was not previously known.
" 'I’d already seen the subpoena request that Google and Meta had sent to Momodou [Taal], and I knew that he had gotten in touch with a lawyer and the lawyer successfully challenged that,' Thomas-Johnson said. 'I was quite surprised to see that I didn’t have that opportunity.'
"The subpoena provides no justification for why ICE is asking for this information, except that it’s required 'in connection with an investigation or inquiry relating to the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.' In the subpoena, ICE requests that Google not 'disclose the existence of this summons for indefinite period of time.'
Thomas-Johnson, who is British, believes that ICE requested that information to track and eventually detain him — but he had already fled to Geneva, Switzerland, and is now in Dakar, Senegal."The #ElectronicFrontierFoundation, which is representing Thomas-Johnson, and the #ACLU of Northern California sent a letter to Google, #Amazon, #Apple, #Discord, #Meta, #Microsoft, and #Reddit last week calling on tech companies to resist similar subpoenas in the future from #DHS without court intervention. The letter asks the companies to provide users with as much notice as possible before complying with a subpoena to give them the opportunity to fight it, and to resist gag orders that would prevent the #TechCompanies from informing targets that a subpoena was issued.
" 'Your promises to protect the privacy of users are being tested right now. As part of the federal government’s unprecedented campaign to target critics of its conduct and policies, agencies like DHS have repeatedly demanded access to the identities and information of people on your services,' the letter reads.
" 'Based on our own contact with targeted users, we are deeply concerned your companies are failing to challenge unlawful surveillance and defend user privacy and speech.' "

You'll hear us talk about #Genderfluidity, #ToxicMasculinity, #MajorTom, #AlanMoore, #BigBrother, #HPLovecraft and other themes! Lots of cool live tracks as well!
