Massive Attack riktar kritik mot Palantir under nya liveframträdanden

Massive Attack har vävt in kritik mot dataanalysföretaget Palantir i sina nuvarande liveframträdanden. Bandet beskriver företagets mål som skrämmande och efterlyser en bredare debatt om dess roll i samhället.

Den Bristol-baserade gruppen debuterade med showen i Helsingfors den 27 maj. Den innehåller specialanpassad ansiktsigenkänningsmjukvara som skannar publiken och visar satiriska etiketter på skärmar. Robert Del Naja berättade för Novara Media att de visuella inslagen refererar till Palantirs övervakningsverktyg. Han noterade företagets skifte från militära tillämpningar till att få tillgång till brittiska patientjournaler. Under setet visas ett citat från grundaren Peter Thiel där han hävdar att frihet och demokrati är oförenliga. Del Naja menade att sammanslagningen av personuppgifter i ett företags händer, i kombination med en politisk agenda, utgör ett farligt maktövertag. Framträdandena fortsätter under sommaren, med ett stopp på Primavera Sound senare i veckan.
