Holy fuck. All of that will be stolen in 3 seconds and the minute it launches Russia will be granted special access. It was nice knowing ya'll. Not really but. Yeah.

we will die when they get our socials 🥀
You joke but they could open up lines of credit, loans, make big purchases in your name. Of course, all my shit is shot so good luck getting approved with mine. Either way at this scale you could infinitely fuck with Americans in kind of financially devastating ways.
ok we don't like that, I was not thinking about the larger picture etc
The libertarian "don't tread on me" wing of the Republican party is hilariously quiet.
That's because their motto is "Tread on me harder, daddy" since 2016.
The libertarian wing was never really very libertarian, they mostly didn't care much about weed and wanted to actually cut spending (or at least claimed to).
Look at Mike Lee (unfortunately my Senator) he calls himself a "libertarian" because he says no a lot, but he also toes the party line when it natters and hasn't championed any social issues I'd call "libertarian." I changed my registration to Republican just so I could vote against this clown twice in one election.

Look on the bright side: this way, you don't have to worry about data breach notification letters from all sorts of different companies or agencies since they'll all be coming from the same source. Really saves on letterhead.
There are reasons why it is illegal for the german state to have a central database of all it's citizens. Guess what the US will do with such a thing when they have it..
Become home of the extra free and brave? /s
My relatives who’ve been screaming about mark of the beast and shit for years sure confuse the hell Out of me when they voice support for this while wearing their maga hats.
They want to see the mark of the beast, and the Antichrist, and the apocalypse so the end times will come and Jesus will take them all to heaven and burn their enemies in eternal damnation.
And if any of it is true, they'll be the ones wondering why they didn't get taken because they're such good little christians.
THIS WAS ALL AVOIDABLE.
I was told if I voted for a repeat of Genocide Joe's team then we would get genocide or something. This is much better!

Release the Trump/Epstein files
This combined with AI facial recognition, the US will be following China's example.
The only difference is that their database will be hacked by other countries.
Under this admin, you just already know the thing is going to be a horrible hodgepodge mess of code generated by Grok or ChatGPT and put together as cheaply and quickly as possible.
China's surveillance is beginning to look mild in comparison.
The USA is turning into both shitholes, CCP run China and Vlad's Russia.
We're a cultural melting pot!
Hmm, I feel like there's something those 3 leaderships have in common...
Start telling people that trump is building a national database of gun owners.
They'll justify it somehow. Or blame the democrats somehow.
Obama did it first.
Of course. Funnel all that info to Peter fucking Thiel's Palantir surveillance company that also has contracts with international law enforcement.
There couldn't possibly be any problems with funnelling every bit of panopticon into a single billionaire super lobbiest's hands. Especially one that has openly stated that he doesn't believe in the continuation of the human race. Who is the closest thing to a real life vampire, regularly getting blood transfusions from healthy young "blood boys" in a hare brained attempt to prolong his own life at all costs.
I find it a massive failure of society as a whole that this fucking charlatan wasn't laughed out of society in the 2010s when he was doing interviews about the "blood boy" bullshit and all the other crackpot shit he was doing to prolong his life. Absolute fucking ghoul. The people in power value money more than sense.
"...Much of the plan relies on Palantir"
Owned by Sociopathic Oligarchs Peter Theil, who holds Vance's leash, and paid Trump to put him in the VP slot, and believes that infusions of the blood of young men will help him live to be 150 (not kidding).

It's stupid from a comsec perspective even if it wasn't stupid for any other reasons. Compartmentalization is a good strategy as we continue to upgrade outdated and vulnerable systems. But of course, this "leader" is an idiot. So he wouldn't know that.

PLEASE check out any privacy community on Lemmy, PrivacyGuides.org, or ugh....even /r/Privacy
Saying "I have nothing to hide" does nothing but empower the surveillance state. You are living in a surveillance state and advertising tracking data is how you are tracked.

The Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to combine access to the sensitive and personal information of Americans into a single searchable system with the help of shady companies should terrify us – and should inspire us to fight back.
We should indeed fight back against the governments and corporations that for decades have been doing this shit.

Can someone EL5 me on how this is different from our data being stolen under the Patriot Act for the last two decades?
Palantir creates platforms for data.
This is creating a platform that allows somebody to access every piece of data in one centralized location.
So example, when somebody is determining your social security payment (if that even exists in the future) they(or more likely AI) might be basing that decision not just on data relevant to income but also on something like a personal social credit score based on every piece of available government data related to a person over their entire lifetime.
Did you get flagged as suspicious while flying bc of 9/11. Did something end up on your record by complete mistake? In this centralized data base you could have all kinds of real and incorrect details associated with you (or even other people like friends, family, neighbors, coworkers) used to discriminate against you. Data becomes destiny.
Not to mention if they integrate it with these live facial recognition surveillance networks, something they caught you doing on camera without your knowledge could be used to make decisions.

Also remember that facial recognition has trouble with minority faces so if you get put on that list because some algorithm thought you were someone else you're fucked.

"You could read anyone's email in the world, anybody you've got an email address for. Any website: You can watch traffic to and from it. Any computer that an individual sits at: You can watch it. Any laptop that you're tracking: you can follow it as it moves from place to place throughout the world. It's a one-stop-shop for access to the NSA's information. ... You can tag individuals ... Let's say you work at a major German corporation and I want access to that network, I can track your username on a website on a forum somewhere, I can track your real name, I can track associations with your friends and I can build what's called a fingerprint, which is network activity unique to you, which means anywhere you go in the world, anywhere you try to sort of hide your online presence, your identity."

We need to start saying they’re adding people who own guns as a table in that database and either get conservatives onboard with stopping it, or more likely just be able to call them hypocrites for one more thing.
They'll contract musk to do it and call it X Internal Communications or XIC for short, and no one will be able to do trade or business without it.
Revelation 13:16-17
You’d think the crowd that avoided barcodes at grocery stores and had meltdowns over “microchips” supposedly in the COVID vaccine would be foaming over this administration.
As I keep telling people, they're not upset about it because their media aren't telling them about things like this, at least not in the same terms.

Tolkien is rotating in his grave at this point with what is happening with his word Palantir. The USA Government is currently becoming a worse villain than Sauron and all of Mordor
and should inspire us to fight back.
LOL. We won't. US citizens have given up and those that haven't don't believe in anything but peaceful protests or trying to go about things "the right way". Neither of which will do anything but hand over more control to billionaires and child rapists.

That was the whole point of DOGE. Access to the main servers of every government department, not "efficiency". If this data is combined with data from social media, it's possible to make quite detailed profiles of people.
Let's not forget Peter Thiel and the Mercers have been doing this since Brexit.
Also scary that Palantir got a big contract for the NATO.

They for sure won't get hold of any notes about medical conditions (or god forbid, notes from your therapist) and use them against you if you opposed them.

In Turkey, we have a portal called e-Devlet (e-Government) that is used for handling all government services. It stores every citizen's data, including medical records, bank account information, and almost any type of personal data you can imagine. Unfortunately, this data has been leaked several times and continues to leak. These breaches result in highly convincing scams, doxxing, and other serious issues.
Such sensitive information should not be centralized under a single portal. We are already suffering from this situation in Turkey, but if a similar large-scale data leak were to happen in the US, the consequences would have a massive global impact.
Fucking bastard is the convergence of all evil going on in the last few years. Unless one morning they wake up to their neighborhoods patrolled by "militia" in their brodozers, what's gonna take people to shock them up into outrage, and it's not just the minorities or the progressives?
