[liberationtech] Palantir at Amsterdam Privacy Conference

[Cristina (99)]

This is not new. I remember the Privacy Conference in Canada some years
ago (i think it was on 2013 or 2014), sponsored by Facebook, and the
most famous privacy-advocate activists going there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some of them read this mailing list, and work on privacy-advocate NGOs,
or related conferences organization. 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
