    There are some pros. Like mitigated health risks due to monitoring for outbreaks. Or being able to reallocate medical or emergency services to weighted areas.

    There is a LOT of potential for misuse that, in my opinion, outweighs the good.

    My personal thought is that we would need a Digital Information protection in place like how HIPAA protects medical data. I’m not the person with the background to do something but this is just a thought of a random internet person.

      Not just potential for misuse. The people in charge of Palantir are the exact sort of people you don’t want having access to any kind of data, because they will find a way to weaponize it, monetize it, or both; consequences or laws be damned. They’re run not just by billionaires, not just by transhumanists, but by technofacist accelerationists.

      The fall of Palantir cannot come too soon.

        Palintir is THIELS nest egg, he is obssessed with surveillance that he names most of his companies after LOTR terms.
