Police in the south-western German state of Baden-Württemberg are to be allowed to use the analysis software from US firm Palantir, which is controversial among data protection advocates
The software was specifically developed for security agencies and is used by intelligence services, the military and police.
Palantir was founded in 2003 in the United States, notably by tech billionaire Peter Thiel. He is known for his libertarian and conservative positions, his closeness to US President Donald Trump and his criticism of liberal democracies.
How are they going to get away with this, in Germany?

They're pointing to the other states already doing it.
Here's hoping our constitutional court will get around to this quickly.

Germany has been one of the biggest supporters of the genocide, they’re cracking down on minor dissent, they’re targeting minorities (including anti-Zionist Jews specifically). The Nazis are controlling Germany again.

Sadly they always have been. USSR shouldn't have stopped at Berlin.

Is it because they’re ashamed of their past they now fully encourage Israel?

It's because they are secretly proud of their past
