That's fantastic, and I hadn't seen it - thanks for posting!

2011? any reason for posting this? additional input?

The techherald article/site that this post was based on doesn't even exist anymore

Here was some discussion about Palantir's plan in 2016. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13065364

Fair question.

We've had a few articles recently about disinfo, notably the disinfo for hire one[1] as well as a good piece on Assange[2]. I thought it was an interesting counterpoint.

The Colbert vid in your sibling's comment is a doozy, btw, you should definitely check it if this interests you!
