#142"The decision stems directly from growing official concern over the potential misuse of classified information linked to national security." What are the specific concerns?
As the contracts are going to a chinese company.
The officials making the decisions likely like their bribes wery much.

#143Spain is really going in the right direction, I wonder why no one countries inspire from what they are doing
This seems ridiculously short-sighted and backwards.

What is this in reference to? Karp has said that US tech companies should be more willing to work with military and intelligence agencies. By that standard, though, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Booz Allen Hamilton, heck even Microsoft are all supporters of "technofascism".

certainly! fascism requires industry that cooperates with the state to produce the means of control; these are all companies that do exactly that!

So the objections to Palantir are political? I know nothing about Spanish politics so I assume that makes sense in the Spanish political context. This helps explain why I can't find a specific concrete concern, it sounds more vibes-based. Thank you!

no one in their right mind is going to argue with that, not sure what your point is

By this logic, Ford and Boeing were contributing to technofascism when they were building tanks and planes for the Allies in WWII.
I don't think that most would agree with your understanding of technofascism.

That's ridiculous. All he espouses is that all of this stuff is going to happen and so you might was well do it right (with Palantir).

Microsoft, a company mostly centered in the Pacific Northwest, is not exactly full of right wingers: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/microsoft-corp/summary?id=d...
