    So they sucked up all the data - which will be held forever in Palantir.

    It’s like they fenced the stolen goods then went oh, that was a one time thing - we don’t have this data (hehehe we sold that shit), so look clean hands! No worries!

    How about no.

    So if you provided your picture for verification, they now can easily track you with their network of flock cameras?

        Yeah, that’s why we should demand our cities to break contracts with flock and inform everyone we know about https://deflock.me/

        Those cameras are deployed in crazy numbers, but are designed to not draw attention to themselves so majority of people are oblivious.

    tl;dr

    Discord told Kotaku its work with Persona was part of a “limited test” which has since been concluded.

      No no, I think they mean “I’m sorry you feel that way.”

    Discord management is just saying “Retreat, we have been discovered. You’ve won this time users but know this we will be back to dox you in full next time!”
