It is an important distinction.
It’s the same with Facebook selling user data. Neither selling your data, like the carriers do, or selling the ability to target you with your data, like Facebook does, are very nice. But legally they are separate things that need to be regulated differently. As is the case with Flock and Palantir.
I'm not so sure Facebook is an apt analogy. Have we forgotten all the times Facebook has actually sold personal data?
Nice assertion. Please provide citations, substance, or anything other than “you’re wrong definitely.”

Wow... See. I didn't even know it was this bad. You don't need much to silence these people that are supporting authoritarian collaborators.
I always just say Palantier is IBM 2.0
IBM of course has an problematic history.
Iunno, this seems pretty dystopian to me: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/report-ice-using-palan...
The government knowing where you live is neither surveillance nor dystopian.
That depends very much on how they use and disseminate that information.
