    This isn’t going to manufacture anything with europeans because the euro countries are all doing or in the stages of planning to do this centralisation. They are being convinced to do it by Palantir under the basis that a centralisation of data is better for AI parsing it.

      I think you underestimate the liberal ability to be hypocritical about their own beliefs.

      It’ll be a “Yeah, it’s bad when it happens anywhere, which is why Venezuela’s government has to go!”

      data centralization is hardly a palantir thing, not to sound like im defending their intentions with people’s data, but bureaucrats want consolidation and simplification independent of state surveillance.

      having multiple divided certificates and identifications is neither security for individuals or a guard for civil rights generally–they have to put more words in the ‘state enemies don’t get X’ clause, big deal. the only reason the width of independent state documentation exists is because it was impossible to consolidate with the technology that existed when the systems were set up.
