A screenshot of Palantir's lobbying expenditure from the site

@perlman Can you make a .onion version? I'm not sure the US government won't try to shut this down because of "trade secret protections" or some other bullshit censorship excuse.

@perlman Nice project, but a bit hard to read. Care to improve the color contrasts to WCAG conform levels?

[baoigheallain@mastodon.ie]

@perlman @KimSJ Thanks.

Annual lobby spend is only $2m!

That is a stunning return on investment. Our politicians are so cheap, instead of the impossible uphill struggle of trying to establish viable opposition parties, it would be cheaper for us to crowd source the incumbents to act for the public good.

How come Jürgen Habermas is listed as Karp's associate?

I miss the time when Mosanto was the ultimate villain.

@perlman theil uses govt contracts to get money to give to his own pac so he can influence politicians to give him govt contracts. Everything is broken

@gustl @perlman I'm not a Habermas stan or anything but that is inaccurate, unless you want to be selective about your timeline. Habermas famously did not provide intellectual cover for Karp. See, e.g. https://www.unpopularfront.news/p/palantirs-peculiar-sales-pitch

@lilo @perlman Claude Code does not know how to respect accessibility

@perlman

It’s (not) funny that these guys (the thiel, musk, bezos, name your favorite oligarch) who piss on the government receive so much money from the government ( and sometimes thru weird contracts)

[nev@status.nevillepark.ca]

@perlman quick question, are there links to sources for all this? News stories, documents, etc.? Maybe it's just because I'm on mobile but I'm not seeing it?

What is your fact-checking process like?

@perlman@indieweb.social 10 persons liked but only one person boosted.

@baoigheallain @perlman @KimSJ It's not. Palantir spent $5.7 million on lobbying in 2024: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/palantir-technologies/summary?id=D000055177

I think the site is LLM-generated.
