Agreed, this would be a really weird way for a state threat actor to reveal an otherwise pretty sensitive capability. I assume there’s something on the account which clearly links him to it and someone he knows recently remembered they know his old account name.
Comment on Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago.

Literally nothing points to Palantir so far according to that post, so your title is just misinformation…
Sources claim that […] tools, POSSIBLY including Palantir or similar […] MAY have been used
Everyone from the sources to the poster are just guessing and speculating.
I dont doubt that its real, but at this point its just made up nonsense to claim it like this.

Ah, but “Planter” and “Palantir” have most of the same letters!
