There was a revelation on the news that Finland has been using Palantir's technology for over a decade. Really shameful, we should follow Spain in this.

The problem with this is that the Spanish government (not the Spanish nation) is leaning towards the Chinese orbit, which is equally or even more authoritarian.
3d old account. posts single comment. Comment deals with spain banning palantir. Comment criticizes spain. hmmm.
how? HOW? has china commited hundred wars across the globe? does china finances shitsrael and its genocidal campaign? did china invented the modern surveillance state? does china currently have multiple or even a single war under its command? what the actual fuck does authority even mean to you? you're just being a racist imperialist colonialist bastard.
China is also committing genocide, apon the uyghurs, a lot of seem to gloss over that for some fuckin reason.
Also China kind of did actually also invent the first spy states, eunuchs secret police then the CCPs totalitarian camera state.
China is also capable of racism, just look at the ethnic tention between Korea and Japan, not to mention the other Asian states.
China is also guilty of imperialism using shitty loans made impossibly hard to pay off with the stipulation that they sieze the inferstructure if they can't pay it off using the belt and road initiative to build inferstructure across Africa, the middle East, and other less developed places in Asia.
You are stupid, get off tictac and go learn actual history.
China is also committing genocide, apon the uyghurs
No, it isn’t.
The US tried to foment division in China by funding and organizing Salafi terrorist into Xinjiang, and once its efforts failed, it made lemonade out of its lemon by concocting and promoting a genocide narrative.
The only countries pushing this narrative are the “always the same map” imperial core countries, which just so happen to be largely the same ones supporting Israel’s genocide.
Almost no predominantly-Muslim country buys the Uyghur genocide narrative, because they know it’s bullshit, because they talked to the Uyghurs themselves.

Genocide is more than just killing, it’s the deliberate destruction of a people including its culture and institutions.
(a) Show me the Uyghur bodies
(b) Show me the serious bodily or mental harm
(c) Show me the conditions calculated to bring about physical destruction in whole or in part
(d) Show me the measures intended to prevent births within the group
In accordance with China's affirmative action policies towards ethnic minorities, all non-Han ethnic groups were subject to different laws and were usually allowed to have two children in urban areas, and three or four in rural areas.
(e) Show me the forcible transfer of children from one group to another group
violent incidents in East Turkestan
I wonder where those Salafi terrorists came from? Oh right: the US, UK, and Israel organized, funded, and trained them, as they did Al Qaeda and the various flavors of ISIS/ISIL, including the “moderate rebels” that just took over Syria.

you cant wash the blood of your hand you filthy gringo. look at what's happening in gaza, you can't hide a fucking genocide you burgerfuhrer idiot. you deny to see the facts because you're a nazi sympathizer.
Since the mod doesn't seem to know what real bigotry is and me asking a question as to why you called me a gringo got that taken down, I'll rephrase since that must have riled you up, your a missguided zealot that can't control your emotions, you lash out at people when you don't have answers, and attempt to silence them just like an athoritarian (like you oh so badly want to defeat) when you dont like an opinion you don't want to hear. Your no different from a MAGA type.
That is funny, all IT systems Spanish government is using still completely US (and even Israeli) sphere, but just the fact of raising concern for the most suspicious systems of being straight data collectors to funnel to the US (like GDPR was ever properly monitored) they place Spain to the Chinese orbit.
This Spanish government just want to balance between the two powers (Actually, after the 1st Global Digital Rights Forum, I don't even see the Spanish government wanted to be in the middle, just with a toe out of the US orbit.). Nevertheless, this is why "foreign entities" have since 2014 start financing the extreme-right in Spain (among several other actions) to destabilize that trend.
