Police in the south-western German state of Baden-Württemberg are to be allowed to use the analysis software from US firm Palantir, which is controversial among data protection advocates
The software was specifically developed for security agencies and is used by intelligence services, the military and police.
Palantir was founded in 2003 in the United States, notably by tech billionaire Peter Thiel. He is known for his libertarian and conservative positions, his closeness to US President Donald Trump and his criticism of liberal democracies.
Germany has been one of the biggest supporters of the genocide, they’re cracking down on minor dissent, they’re targeting minorities (including anti-Zionist Jews specifically). The Nazis are controlling Germany again.
Is it because they’re ashamed of their past they now fully encourage Israel?
No. It’s that the Nazis never really left power. They simply ruled under US supervision. And the Nazis always cooperated with the Zionist project.
It’s because they are secretly proud of their past
I’ll just throw in the mandatory ‘always on the wrong side of history’ cliché.
Sadly they always have been. USSR shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin.
I guess they’d argue that none of those pesky little data protection laws apply to competent authorities like the police and they’re probably justifying it with the criminal prosecution clause.
Great.
Exactly. Only small businesses and individuals have to honour the GDPR, not them.
How are they going to get away with this, in Germany?
They’re pointing to the other states already doing it.
Here’s hoping our constitutional court will get around to this quickly.
