Trump Wants to Put You in a Massive, Secret Government Database

Seriously. This is not new. The whole Prism thing before Palantir had all the data but not the ontology. I’m glad Europe learnt from Snowden.

If a private company does it, they can "sell" the data to the government and all the government needs to see it is pay.

If the government has the data, then there is laws and regulations about how they use it.

Like most things trump does, the problem already existed, most people were just ignorant until someone as stupid as trump tried to trick them.

That's why we keep seeing people acting shocked that trump is doing what's been done for decades. The problem is they tend to act like trump and refuse to accept that they realized late. But at least they're finally starting to notice

Lol... "the capitalist oligarchy"?

Is the GOP. Trump is the shitty, dilapidated face of the GOP, so people say Trump sometimes.

Oversimplification of the problems we face is a mistake. You can't blame the economic system for corruption when corruption can take place so easily in virtually any system.

There is no single database for all of this information (but thanks to Palantir there will be for all of this and more), so that is definitely new.

The tip of the authoritarian easy button iceberg:

•The Central Intelligence Agency has been granted increased access to domestic law enforcement databases, further blurring the line between foreign intelligence and domestic policing.

•The so-called Department of Government Efficiency got direct access to Treasury Department payment systems, including Social Security numbers, names, and birthdays, according to a whistleblower.

•Immigration and Customs Enforcement got access to Medicaid recipients’ data and banking information.

•The Transportation Security Administration is now sharing biometric passenger info with immigration enforcement, turning every airport check-in into a potential trap.

10 years later their tools are unfathomably better.

Yeah seriously, where's all those friggin "Molon Labe" kids now? "2nd protects the 1st"? "Tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty"? "No step on snek"? "Don't agree with you but will fight to the death for your right to say it"? "What did you just say to me you little bitch I'm a navy seal with over 99 confirmed kills"? (Lol)

Well here it is. The gubbmint wants to monitor your thoughts with the help of hidden microphones everywhere, hacking your phone, and probably space lasers. They want to biometric scan you and your kids just to allow access to electronic devices. They're building databases and literally rounding people up they don't like and putting them in concentration camps, even right here on home soil, no less! They're murdering U.S citzens right here in our cities.

I thought we'd at least be allies with these types, with some general disagreements on the finer points, but these big tough sheepdoggy guys that seemingly adored the Constitution and AR-15s that were seemingly EVERYWHERE, are suddenly all disappeared, or getting fantastic glutes from all that goose stepping.

Bunch'a pathetic mall ninjas. It's up to us to be training and looking after each other if we want any chance of brighter days ahead.

i will raise your bet to one donut and coffee, i say less-flagrantly abuse but pretend they have stopped, only to have expanded the entire time. also a reminder to breathe you need that to live

Put one next to nine that reads "Better a pig than a fascist"

1. or did you want a different one?

It's more bigly than YUGE.
