UK Discord users were part of a Peter Thiel-linked data collection experiment

>Discord have belatedly confirmed that they're working with Persona, an identity detection firm backed by a fund directed by Palantir chairman Peter Thiel, as part of Discord's new global age verification system rollout.

>As PCGamer note, Persona's lead investors during two recent rounds of venture capital funding were Founders Fund, who valued them at $1.5 billion in 2021. The Founders Fund was co-founded by Peter Thiel in 2020.

>Palantir have, among other things, worked extensively with the USA's Immigration and Customs Enforcement, aka ICE, [...]

The article tries to imply that Persona might be sending your ID scans to Palantir or doing other unsavory things with it, because it's linked to Thiel, but is there any evidence for this? For instance, is Thiel known for meddling in the affairs of the companies his fund invests in, or pushing them together for collabs like what Musk does (eg. with x/x.ai/spacex)?

Let's be fair: almost everything is linked to Peter Thiel's dark magic company these days.

The UK's NHS is already quite close with Palantir: https://www.palantir.com/uk/

> I know children aren't responsible for the sins of their parents, but it doesn't seem wholly irrelevant here that Palantir's UK division is headed by Oswald Mosley's grandson.

"ad-hominem is ugly and wrong, like you"

I honestly am glad that all of this is happening, because any time a conservative in the future starts complaining about government overreach, the only response to them should be is that "well, this is what you like".

The title should include Palantir too
