The linked article is a bit confusing, but the bottom line is that the surveillance state grows its abilities and uses the resulting broad lists of 'suspects' without oversight or limitation.

A large company I toiled for has also hooked up with Palantir, the better to know everything about every customer (and probably about employees too).

I'll just hide behind those hanging, idling chainsaws.
