Known for their work with the CIA, tech company Palantir is coming to Coles
www.abc.net.au
Coles plans to deploy data company Palantir's tools across more than 840 supermarkets to cut costs and "redefine how we think about our workforce". At a time of increased food insecurity, Australians should question if this is the right direction, writes Luke Munn.

    I’m surprised at the abc having an accurate article that calls out the dangers of palantir. They don’t even talk just about the privacy invasion but the risk for coles of losing control of their data. We all know how enshittification happens at this point, so it’s a given.

      It’s not an ABC article, it’s from The Conversation. It’s also pretty old, that’s probably why data was a focus (there were several high profile data breaches around that time).

    Imagine if we had politicians who cared about our privacy…
    They don’t care because they use the data.

    From companies using AI to track what people are search for then serving adds based on those search terms.
    They track subscribers / buyers
    Banks etc sending our data offshore to Adobe and others to build profiles.
    Our faces being dumped to large databases

    It is endless
