#Palantir pozywa magazyn @republik_magazin

Polecam artykuł opisujący jak Palantir próbował pozyskać szwajcarskie instytucje i rząd jako klienta.

P.S. Polskę wpycha w łapy Palantira minister Kosiniak-Kamysz 🤦‍♂️

Palantir Technologies is suing Republik Magazine over an investigation into Palantir’s activities in Switzerland, published in December 2025. The lawsuit demands a counterstatement and is currently being heard by the Zurich Commercial Court.

#Roblox, #Reddit and #Discord users must use biometric #ageverification tool backed by Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel

@JamesBaker says:

“People are worried, and angry, about having to hand over biometric scans of their face to overseas companies just to access online platforms. This includes children.

“Users deserve to know who is behind these systems, how their data is being used, and to have a real choice about who verifies their identity online.”

When it comes to security,

When in doubt, rip it out

I took some pictures how I ripped out the unused satellite/cellular two way communications that were used to track my car. This was absolutely used by Insurance companies and their several hundred third parities for advertising and almost certainly #Palantir ICE Technologies. Location, mileage, and other basic usage information being transmitted every minute, and can be ripped out within one minute at shown here.

Locate, grab, yank down, and swipe the connector off. It is OK to break it if you never use satellite radio or the subscription emergency call service. You have a cell phone, right? Cut the cord, rip this apart. The GPS antenna for navigation is under the windshield in the dash and is unaffected by this and is only a receiver, so it may be safe to leave that intact.

By eliminating this two way telemetry, you eliminate other security threats too. Malicious hackers can no longer take control of the canbus, the cameras, electronic steering, brakes, remote ignition, and no longer able to remote control your car. Think I'm joking? Rip that two way communication system out.
Four steps to remove vehicle two way telemetry, identify the external antenna, locate where to grab the interior roof liner, grab and rip it open, and forcefully yank the wires out.
