Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago.

  Imagine thinking your privacy is above profit where capitalism rules lmao

  You muricas are too dumb to understand that nothing has more power than money on a profit driven society like yours, like the ones your stupid elite forced upon every country’s throat as they could

  Your “market freedom” is actually money dictatorship, EUA is not a free country

  Once upon a time, we understood that “putting something online” meant releasing it to the public in perpetuity. Any claim otherwise was gaslighting.

  Facebook, et al, have somehow managed to convince people that privacy is something you can get back after they’ve coerced you to give it up.

    It doesn’t help that people don’t actually care about privacy. The only people who think it’s an issue are the ones looking at weird porn or buying drugs, and the tiny margin of people who actually understand that your personal information can be weaponized years later.

    For the large swath of Liberal America, it’s just a word. They install Alexa in their rooms, they carry their phones everywhere, they post their whole lives on social media. They don’t feel any tangible risk to any of it, so it falls to the lowest priority to worry about, like heart disease and mental health.

  Also this is being orchestrated by the DSCC showing that the Democrats still have power and deep state ties, they just use them against left/anti-zionists.

    What is it with this site and hating “libs” like it feels like Twitter with the Trump goons.

      They’re the remnants of last year’s propaganda campaign. No one bothered to deprogram them. They tend to fire off their lines at unpredictable times like a toddlers toy with a low battery.

    I don’t live in Maine anymore, but his handling of this, and clear stance on other issues important to me, have actually strengthened my willingness to vote for him was I still in the state.

    I actually believe him when he says he got it while drunk on a night off with the marines, supposed not knowing the meaning at the time. He then went on to say he immediately scheduled to cover it because getting it removed would have taken too much time to figure out because Maine doesn’t have any places that do it. Like he wanted that shit no longer visible on his body asap and went out of his way to get it done sooner than later.

    Similarly with LGBTQ+ rights. Yeah he said some edgy shit on the Internet a long time ago, but he’s said he’s changed and now aggressively supports queer rights in Maine. Idk, maybe he’ll pull a Fetterman, but I don’t get that vibe.

    Even if he is still in the process of fully deconstructing things, he is clearly taking the correct actions in the here and now to further that process.

    I grew up with people like him and almost without fail, when I actually sat down and had real conversations with them as adults, they’ve been positive and minds have been changed in all directions.

    Blue collar Mainers are some of the first people to hate billionaires, and fiercely support small government, personal freedoms and privacy. This honestly means supporting queer rights in so far as they want the freedom to be themselves too. They have been systematically lied to by a party that doesn’t actually want small government or personal liberties, and many of them have realized that.

    We need to be able to welcome these people willing to be educated, and genuinely capable of changing their thinking and their ways. These people are closeted radical leftists. We will need them on board.

  The real enemy inside is the government, not the people.

  People need to keep their government under more surveillance than the government does its people.

  That’s not Palantir doing it. If you put the data in a MariaDB, you can access it, too. Is not MariaDB the culprit, or the one distributing the data?

  What I find more concerning is, how did they get his reddit username?

  source

  • altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    The obvious strong link is reddit+email. Someone could have got into his personal, probably old mailbox, where original registration letters (with r/handle) and notifications still are. I find it more probable, but since government is under MAGA, they could’ve used some way to ask Huffman if some account matches the mail address.

      This is why I resisted attaching emails to reddit accounts for years. Recently subs have started soft banning users without registered emails though, so I started just using throwaways.

  At one point it was possible to download every reddit comment ever. I think it was around 10 years ago I had a copy of that. I can’t remember if it was from reddit directly or from some third party with scrapers. I recall the dataset being free… but it might have been free for me because I had an academic justification? Really don’t recall.

  Anyways, point being that you’re delusional if you think anything you post online ever goes away. Secondly, you can be much less than palentir and have “deleted reddit account comments”. Anyone can get them.
