  1. “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.” - Palantir founder and Chairman, Peter Thiel Palantir is not a hero, they are a huge and ever-growing threat to personal privacy and democracy. Read up on Palantir, Thiel, MAGA, and Trump. "Peter Thiel is far from the first billionaire who has wielded his fortune to try to influence the course of American politics. But in an election year when democracy itself is said to be on the ballot, he stands out for assailing a longstanding governing system that he has described as “deranged” and in urgent need of “course correction”. "The German-born investor and tech entrepreneur, a Silicon Valley “disrupter” who helped found PayPal alongside Elon Musk and made his fortune as one of the earliest investors in Facebook, has catapulted himself into the top ranks of the mega-donor class by pouring close to $30m into this year’s midterm elections." "He’s not merely favoring one party over another, but is supporting candidates who deny the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s election as president and have, in their different ways, called for the pillars of the American establishment to be toppled entirely."

  2.  @zinjanthropus322  - Elon and Peter don't love you back. I'm not talking about their ability to be secure for their trusted, paying clients in the private or government/military sectors. I'm saying, private citizens across the globe are not respected as having privacy in his eyes. For him, our activities, purchases, browsing, connections, location, biometrics, accounts, relationships, family, and an applied behavioral and psychological model of us are "fair use" to leverage as a commodity of very high value for himself and his trusted clients.

  3.  @zinjanthropus322  - You can split hairs about how much influence Thiel has or doesn't have till all the bits come home. It doesn't change what Thiel does with Palantir and its ilk, what his goals are, and how he views democracy. It's not a benevolent company fighting for democracy against autocracy. It's a cynical capitalist venture which is politically "agnostic" at best and in favor of market stability by any means and corporate welfare at worst. I allege the latter. The love issues are yours, honey.

  6.  @zinjanthropus322  - Minimizing what they do and broadbrushing by using one example of services they offer as if it's the be all and end all is revealing of your bias and purpose here. Bye forever.
