Found as yet another censored r/privacy post!

Understand that the decision to fire the chief and his deputy may be in fact be the most dangerous decision Trump has made so far. Timothy Haugh like his last 2 predecessors were restricting the access and control Peter Thiel had through his company Palantir over the CIA/NSA to commit domestic surveillance. Palantir is the 2nd biggest defense contractor for the CIA/NSA along with providing day-to-day operations for both agencies. The goal for Palantir is and always has been domestic surveillance. Palantir is an intelligence corporation which provides advanced analysis, sigint, osint, criminal and threat awareness and kill chain efficiencies to all levels of US, UK, and corporate agencies.

It seems to be a bigger problem than I imagined. What is the corporate buyout even doing on Mastodon? He needs to either give a really good explanation or be kicked.

I do not have a mastodon account, if you do/anyone does it would be great if the other mods there can be notified about this

We all (sort of) have Mastodon accounts. At least it's possible to @ people on those servers from here.
