Builds pedo database... Only those under a certain age are definitely included. Additionally with information if the child already informs themself about abuse or so.
Of course, everything is secret and, for security reasons, there is no monitoring of politicians etc.

Secret social scores by palantir and like companies. To decide whether you get loans, which jobs, what prices you pay, what results you are shown on social media. With ai making those half baked assumptions, no way to challenge it, no way to know what they are using.

I’ll stop using the internet before I give up my anonymity. They can wrench my privacy from my cold, dead hand.
