friendlyjordies - You Should Be Afraid of this Company

[Early Access]Hello Patrons,

Here's a video on another of the world's current boogeymen: Palantir. Let's take a look at its insane background and why people hate it so much. We'll also take a step back and look at it in a global context.

Sources can be found at the bottom of this post.

Jordan's US tour has come to an end and we'll be back at full production capacity shortly. If you've been following the news closely there's a story you might be expecting us to cover. Expect something big on that soon, you're going to like it.Note: We'd really like to hear your thoughts on the ending to this video. We're thinking of changing it for the public release because it comes off as too positive rather than simply an explainer of how governments approach these technologies. Let us know if you think it needs altering.

Thank you all for the support!The FJ Crew
