As a side note, Karp seems to think most people’s concern with surveillance is that they are going to get caught cheating for some reason. For instance, when giving an example of what he thinks is a valid skeptical question to ask about what Palantir is doing, he said, “Is this product being used to take away my right to go have a hot dog with a coworker I’m flirting with while being married? Which, honestly, I think is the god-given right of people in this country.” He later brings this up again, saying that most surveillance technology isn’t determining, “Am I shagging too many people on the side and lying to my partner?” Your guess is as good as any as to what that’s all about.
Damn, we really are back to the aughts. 4chan are some hell of propagandists to eventually make “nothing to hide, nothing to fear” the based, redpilled, “cool” position this time around.
It’s “We know you’ve got something to hide but don’t worry we promise we’re going to keep quiet about it” this time which is the biggest load of bullshit ever lmao who would even believe that, you don’t need to do any surveillance if you’re not going to use anyone’s secrets against them!

No shit, people don’t want to get caught in the ever expanding, baroque nightmare that is the legal system and penal code. It’s already inhuman, and the more the reins are in the hands of algorithms, the less human the system gets.
As the statistic goes, the average American commits three felonies per day. Most of them are frivolous and won’t be prosecuted. But if the authorities reeeeally want to charge you with something, they’ll find something to charge you with. Some examples:
Donating to a charity that has received donations from a “terrorist” organization.
Having a rock in your car/shoe from a national park and accidently taking it with you out of the park.
Using marijuana in a state where it’s legal on vacation if you own guns in a state where weed isn’t. Each firearm is its own felony.
Using someone’s password-protected wifi without their knowledge or explicit permission.
Driving an ATV or dirt bike on federal land.
Touching a bald eagle feather you found on the ground.
…and there’s hundreds (if not thousands) more. Abortion bans or HRT/GRS are the most recent examples of things that should be legal and normal, but were made illegal and now technology is being used to convict people.
The “three felonies a day” thing isn’t a real statistic. It’s just the title of a book by Harvey Silverglate and isn’t supported by any sort of evidence.
“average am*rican commits three felonies per day” factoid actually just statistical error, average am*rican commits 0 felonies per day, Felonies Georg who lives in capitol hill & commits over 10000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
i think that man is cheating on his spouse
Setting the stage for “If you’re against us spying on you it’s because you’re unfaithful to your wife you hotdog sharing slut”

America is the burger land don’t commit treason by sharing hotdogs!!! Sharing = Communism btw,
