Just have to scratch the surface a little bit to see the imperialist connection here. I’d implore you to not just take the surface-level info from NGOs without understanding the interests they serve.
Palantir is the profit-driven offshoot of this program. It’s mostly infrastructure for privatized mass surveillance services. Also why the push for age verification and ID is happen alongside this.
