You realize a concentration camp implies concentrating people’s physical bodies into a contained space, right? There are many examples, including right here in the US (border camps, Guantanamo). Being subject to a corporation’s whims is not comparable to being an enemy or prisoner of the state without due process.

Palantir, on the other hand, has a direct role in this process of concentrating undesirables.

Earth is a confined space. Total surveillance could mean there are few places in the world outside maybe deep wilderness where surveillance can be escaped.
