"alleged"

Palantir is also deep diving into Israeli war crimes, helping to operate the apartheid surveillance and designating women and children as targets for assassinations.

Ugh, I really hate it when people make comics like this that make it seem like solving our problems would be so simple. In the real world, where things are a lot messier, you need the blade to be at least several times higher for it to work properly!

Btw this is straight up already implemented, ive had acquaintances deported from the US because they got picked up by a random CCTV and automatically flagged by an AI face detection algorithm while living there with tourist visas. With social media oligarchs on board and ISP i bet they can already flag people through social media posting history.
