I'm surprised at the abc having an accurate article that calls out the dangers of palantir. They don't even talk just about the privacy invasion but the risk for coles of losing control of their data. We all know how enshittification happens at this point, so it's a given.

MODERATORS
It's not an ABC article, it's from The Conversation. It's also pretty old, that's probably why data was a focus (there were several high profile data breaches around that time).
Imagine if we had politicians who cared about our privacy...
They don't care because they use the data.
From companies using AI to track what people are search for then serving adds based on those search terms.
They track subscribers / buyers
Banks etc sending our data offshore to Adobe and others to build profiles.
Our faces being dumped to large databases
It is endless
