    No, I’m telling you what I’m literally telling you. If you think Palantir is not going to have their data, I have a bridge to sell you.

    Shell companies are what used for tax avoidance, the tactic is the same: work influence through separate companies also controlled by you. I am not surprised someone from the .ml is defending the worst aspects of capitalism by nitpicking criticism against them, take that as you will.

      Nobody said anything about Palantir not having any data, so don’t try to strawman, of course they can have the data.

      I said the identity verification tech was Persona, not Palantir. If you want to say that Palantir has access to Persona’s data, be my guest. That doesn’t change the fact it was not Palantir’s identity verification tech that was hacked, which is what I corrected.

      Please consult any dictionary on “shell company” and let me know how Persona fits the definition of having no assets or operations, and doing no business activities. Because it sure looks to me like they have assets, business activities, and are quite an active, real business.

      Isn’t the stereotypical .ml user a pro-Russian tankie? Why would they defend capitalism, they all want capitalism to burn, lol.

        I already explained to you what I meant. If it is not getting through, it is not getting through.

        Isn’t the stereotypical .ml user a pro-Russian tankie?

        It’s the why.
