Title from the linked article - a graphic with Tump and This and the text What’s happening in America is technofascism. It could happen here Peter Thiel's data surveillance company Palantir is powering Trump's ICE operation in the US. Carole Cadwalladr argues that the UK will be next

From the linked article, it reads This is not a normal company. And these are not normal commercial contracts; it’s an act of either incredible naivete or wilful denial at this point to believe they are. Palantir is less a technology company than a political project. That’s not speculation: for its co-founder, Peter Thiel, technology is politics. He said so at a libertarian conference – Libertopia – in 2010: “The basic idea was that we could never win an election based on certain things because we were in such a small minority but maybe you could actually unilaterally change the world without having to constantly convince people and beg people and plead with people who are never going to agree with you through technological means. And this is where I think technology is this incredible alternative to politics.”

From the linked article It’s 2026, and Trump’s authoritarian intent is clear. Palantir has made its ideological bent abundantly clear. This company should be nowhere near any UK government department, let alone our NHS and nuclear weapons. We have handed control of the most important and vital instruments of state to what amounts to a hostile foreign power. We haven’t just jeopardised our present and future security – what happens if or when we have a change of government? Peter Thiel’s network - and we have mapped some of the biggest names on our graphic below - is already connected to a circle of UK Reform supporters and ideologues.

From the linked article ut we are also betraying the American people. As you watch the protesters in the streets of Minneapolis, remember that the UK government is funnelling hundreds of millions of pounds in contracts to the company that is instrumental in finding and deporting those alleged illegal immigrants and labelling protestors “domestic terrorists”. Without UK government contracts, Palantir would be a shadow of the company it currently is. British taxpayers’ support is crucial to its commercial bottom line. The ignorance and denial about the UK’s relationship with Palantir must end. This is technofascism. And it’s coming here next.
