People will read this, think "oh I don't like that," then continue to buy USA Today because apparently dumb habits are more important than anything else.
If your news media is owned by them, then don't be part of their audience! Easy peasy.

This useless pendejo is the CEO of #Palantir. That is all you need to know about these pendejos-on-steroids! bsky.app/profile/paul...
He’s the perfect example of Grima Wormtongue!

What does that mean, “actionable”? How can we, the personal data suppliers (people), act in response?!
EFF that sweaty drug addled asshole who thinks it's okay to invade people's privacy and surveil them! He will be his own demise! Drugs take their toll on the human body!!
And USA Today is a rag that is a total waste of money!
It’s kinda like the National Enquirer with more pages

I think I need to unsubscribe and stop watching their stuff. All mainstream media are engaging in targeted voter manipulation and conspiracies against the United States.
Yes, yes you do.
Caroline Kensington · 1 · 2h ago
Of course it’s concerning. Media companies have access to enormous amounts of audience data, and when that data is turned into so-called “actionable intelligence,” the public has every right to ask about transparency, privacy, and how that information is actually being used.

When I post this, I think a lot of people think it's a joke or a conspiracy theory. It's neither.

As some know, perhaps, I am Buddhist-Hindu on life-after-death issues [we are reborn humans]. I always put things in that light: The ppl intent on gathering data on us (for whatever purpose) will be born again into this world & victims(?) of the AI world they created. Is this what they'll want?
Ms HummingWay · 0 · 3h ago
Musk is fueling most of the interest in AI & Data Centers, IMO. He's convincing corporations that their human employees (& all of mankind) will be replaced by humanoids & all these Data Centers will be needed. Yes, a Police State w/ an eventual police force of humanoids 🦾. I think Musk is nuts!
shaneway.bsky.social · 3 · 1h ago
Palantir should have never been given the power it has. With the amount of information it has now, it will blackmail any politician it wants, to maintain its power. The most powerful, have the most skeletons in their closet.

Yes but it is FAR worse than just this
Seriously alarmed now. This time period is insane.

Never read that rag anyway. Just repurposed reporting by others. Rebranded to confirm bias to Trump. "The rebrand comes as Gannett and other media companies face lawsuits and editorial pressure from the Trump administration." www.axios.com/2025/11/04/g...

Absolutely, #Palantir is a criminal organisation and it's getting it's hooks into the UK with help from successive UK governments. It must be banned from ever having anything to do with British organisations.
LordWoolamaloo · 0 · 2h ago
Perhaps they are living up to the name of their publication, after all the USA today is decaying into a fascist -corporate state & mass surveillance is a part of it ... That should be a sarcastic joke, and sadly isn't

Something else ppl were warned abt for over 12 yrs...in a Dictatorship, you do NOT want them to get in your business via tech. Everything we do nowadays is online (me, no longer) & that will be your worst nightmare. I don't want to kill trees either but TECH IS NO LONGER AN OPTION!

Peter Thiel IS Big Brother from Orwell's 1984. But there is nothing brotherly about him. He and his fellow billionaires control more money than what they could ever spend but are always hungry for more. So they sell you and your information to whoever offers the most money and our government is
on that list. Peter Thiel looks to a world where your personal data is there for the taking and Trump admires that. Think about that. You are being sold. Modern slavery. We will belong to whoever controls our data.
johnsisko.bsky.social · 1 · 1h ago
USA Today does not need 'actionable intelligence' on its 'audience'...unless it has abandoned all journalistic standards. Has the USA Today decided to become a marketing and advertising medium? Or are they collecting info for Big Brother now?
Pissed-Off Scientist · 0 · 1h ago
"Actionable intelligence" meaning anything that goes against the mob boss PedoTraitor. The MAGAt Cult is not done committing crimes against humanity and the Constitution.

Robert, that's over 40 newspapers per state if you average it out. I know Arkansas only has the Gazzette, but yes, it's a republican smear paper. Definitely Not A newspaper. So, there's that.

USA Today took over our local paper and turned it into garbage. I cancelled it after they published an ‘opinion’ piece by Rubio touting tRump’s Big Ugly Bill.

Exactly why I don’t subscribe to our local newspaper. USA Today owns it and is a carbon copy, so it’s worthless to me.
That's it then. Will no longer be a subscriber. Fvcking idiots.
ttsmom98.bsky.social · 0 · 2h ago
I subscribe to Ground News where news sources are bundled. (It’s like how Fox stations are bundled within my YouTube TV subscription.) I hate like hell to be supporting these people just because of bundling. 😤
Good thing I do not read any of them 🙄

Yep. Stick with independent media; they’re out there.
