    Palantir is more likely to be used to try and hide this shit than it this to try and bring it out to light.

      Obviously, just pointing out… they literally have designed and are using a tool that has the exact capacities needed to do the unthinkable… IE watch countless hours of CSAM, that would wreck the souls of any human with a heart. identify and footnote every instance of a perpetrators face being revealed, identify and log the exact timestamp of each identifying frames.

      We know they won’t use it for this… but the irony of knowing they have the technology that has this exact capability, and are only using it to go after people that more or less have not victimized anyone is so disheartening.

      It’s like if they invented a small portable cheap device that could create safe drinking water wherever you need it, and their only thought was “hey we can use this to waterboard people”.

          no to my knowledge there is no clean water technology that’s used for waterboarding, just noting the sad state that literally the 2 current major events of the year are extreme advances in technology to go through weeks of video footage to track down individuals, and that the DOJ is sitting on an obscene amount of CSAM, most likely involving prominent wealthy people… and there’s no way this technology and this problem are going to be used together.
