Palantir's CEO admits his company's tech "is used to kill." Yet major newsrooms - Axel Springer (Politico, BI, The Telegraph), Ringier, Fox News - are embedding Palantir's Foundry and AI tools into their daily operations.
After Axel Springer bought The Telegraph, the paper ran two op-eds defending Palantir. The same week it published a piece headlined "How Palantir became the left's favourite conspiracy target."
Ringier hired a dedicated Palantir engineer. Fox News built three AI newsroom tools with Palantir engineers embedded in the newsroom. Neither outlet will say whether their data trains the same AI used for targeting in Gaza.

OpenAI acquired TBPN, the tech talk show that frequently interviews Sam Altman, for hundreds of millions. The 11-person team will report to OpenAI's strategy chief, not a newsroom. The company calls this an "Editorial Independence Covenant" - but when you buy your interviewer, that independence becomes theoretical at best. #AIGovernance #MediaOwnership #TechAccountability

Tennessee grandmother Angela Lipps spent over five months in jail after AI facial recognition wrongly linked her to bank fraud crimes in Fargo, North Dakota, where she'd never been. Police relied on a partner agency's AI system and additional investigative steps before issuing a warrant, but Chief Zibolski admitted "part of the issue" was overreliance on flawed AI data. Despite promising operational changes, police stopped short of a direct apology. This case highlights risks of AI facial recognition—false identifications can ruin lives and expose systemic flaws in law enforcement.

Cursor's $29.3B code editor marketed Composer 2 as an "in-house" model. A developer found the actual model ID within 24 hours: it was Kimi K2.5, built by Beijing's Moonshot AI. This marks the second undisclosed use of Chinese models in four months, raising questions about transparency when users route proprietary code through these systems.

A San Francisco jury found Elon Musk liable for two misleading tweets during the 2022 Twitter takeover, though rejected broader fraud claims. Damages could exceed $2 billion across the five-month class period. Musk's "deal temporarily on hold" tweet sent shares down 9.6% in one day. His first major courtroom loss after years of legal victories.

Why it matters:
This setup lets powerful executives and investors reap tech profits while cloaking influence in a charitable shell — undermining democracy and accountability when oversight matters most. -

Apple filed 267 child abuse reports in 2023. Google filed 1.47 million. Internal documents show both companies' employees warned that encryption would reduce their ability to detect child exploitation, but they proceeded anyway. Now courts in three states are testing whether "privacy-first" policies constitute willful blindness to harm.

Meta CEO Zuckerberg testified in the first jury trial among 1,600 consolidated cases alleging social platforms designed products to addict children. Internal emails showed the company paid for an expert panel on child safety, then ignored their recommendations. TikTok and Snap settled before trial began. The case uses product liability law rather than challenging Section 230 protections directly. #TechAccountability #ChildSafety #Meta

🚨 Taking on Big Tech: Filed TWO official complaints with Germany's Digital Services Coordinator
📋 DSA-260200045: Reddit
📋 DSA-260200042: LinkedInBoth platforms violated EU Digital Services Act Articles 17 & 20—failing to provide proper reasoning for content moderation decisions and denying users fair appeal processes.
It's about setting precedent for how platforms must treat EU users under the law.

Disney is in the headlines for children's privacy violations in the US.
Regulators say Disney's YouTube content wasn't properly labelled as "Made for Kids", which matters because that label is meant to restrict tracking and targeted advertising for under-13s. The allegation is simple: mislabelling enabled the collection of children's data without the required parental notice and consent protections.
Disney agreed to pay $10m and implement compliance measures.
Worth asking: if this can happen at Disney scale, how many platforms and publishers are quietly doing similar things, and how would you even know?
