    Are you more worried by American corps “gathering data” rather than the potential for actual, physical misuse of data in the UK? What are the corpos gonna do, advertise to you?

        Palantir supplying ICE leads to the direct harm of ICE busting down your door and shooting you ten times in the back out of self-defence. That’s not just corps “gathering data” that’s law enforcement committing abuse. In the same way, if we in the UK give the police facial recognition technology it could be used to commit abuse.

        That’s a far greater potential for harm than just “oh no, details of my face are on Google’s servers”.
