    So they sucked up all the data - which will be held forever in Palantir.

    It’s like they fenced the stolen goods then went oh, that was a one time thing - we don’t have this data (hehehe we sold that shit), so look clean hands! No worries!

    How about no.

    So if you provided your picture for verification, they now can easily track you with their network of flock cameras?

      They could already easily track your face because your aunt uploaded a picture of you to Facebook and tagged you in it.

      What they’re trying to do here is connect your face/identity with your Discord account, so that they can more easily track down dissidents who say naughty things online through Discord.

        Yeah, that’s why we should demand our cities to break contracts with flock and inform everyone we know about https://deflock.me/

        Those cameras are deployed in crazy numbers, but are designed to not draw attention to themselves so majority of people are oblivious.

    tl;dr

    Discord told Kotaku its work with Persona was part of a “limited test” which has since been concluded.
