Intelligence is needed to bring harm to adversaries. Determine the intel, determine the adversary.

    In this case, Theil massively funded an election
    and then his data corp got the unprecedented access
    to US Gov's most sensitive datasets (ss, dhs, irs, etc).
    This includes compiling new databases that target migrants, 
    built from data across multiple DHS agencies.

So where's the "untold suffering to minorities and poor people"?

Database of migrants, you do know that it's normal for governments to keep track of who's in their country, right? It's why passports have your name, picture, DOB, etc... on them...

  • By omitting the qualifying part of the grandparent's statement, which is this...

        >> Theil is spearheading a campaign
        >> of untold suffering to minorities and poor people.
    

    the quoted part in this...

        > So where's the "untold suffering to minorities and poor people"?
    

    ...unhelpfully misstates the GP's assertion.

    That assertion is that Theil is leadership within a campaign.

    The assertion is the campaign is intended to harm the vulnerable.

    Funding an election to gain access to the data needed to build new datasets that specifically target a vulnerable segment of the population - this is evidence of who the campaign is targeting.
