I posted this 5 hours ago and confusingly only received 4 upvotes:

Sadiq Khan blocks £50M Met police deal with Palantir https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48221296

And this new thread was just demoted from the front page despite a lot of activity and upvotes in a short time.

Anything critical of Palantir or mass surveillance in general tends to get auto flagged / downvoted very quickly. It's a bit ironic for a site calling itself Hacker News, but it's also very fitting and not surprising that a tech site these days is being influenced so heavily by bots/llms.

The only reason I shared that I posted this earlier is in part that I found it incredibly odd it didn’t get traction (it’s a big deal!).

Seeing now that this post may be limited, my tin foil hat gets placed back on.

It’s not like Palantir is a fan of YC, they literally sued them…
