Amazing... electing a #fascist made Palantir's stock shoot up? Who would have guessed??

#Palantir, if you don't already know, is steroid-enhanced #surveillance and #spying #software developed by right-wing #Billionaire (and JD #Vance's main benefactor) Peter #Thiel.

It was originally called "Igor" and developed to track down fraudsters at #PayPal, in a "murder-board" fashion, connecting their transactions to their phone calls to their geolocations etc.

Thiel turned it into "Palantir" (a name taken from the All-Seeing Orbs in the Lord of the Rings novels), and has #government contracts to use this software to track "#criminals and #terrorists".

Just what gets defined as "criminal" and allowed to be tracked with Palantir remains to be seen in the coming years.
