oh boy.

In its petition to the Commission, X Corp. cited several reasons why it believes that the order should either be set aside or modified so that it terminates at the end of 2026. The petition argues:

The order was imposed on a company that no longer exists, that every individual responsible for the underlying failures has left the company and that X Corp. has since built a world-class privacy and data-protection program;

The order no longer serves any valid regulatory purpose, imposing millions of dollars in needless costs to address obligations and protections already required by domestic and international privacy regimes and industry-recognized frameworks that X Corp. follows;

Setting aside the order safeguards First Amendment values; and

Setting aside or modifying the order is critical to advancing American leadership in artificial intelligence.

The report broadly deals with the challenges of being locked into agreements with third-party technology vendors for essential governmental services. Enter Palantir as the case in point of what can go wrong, in part due to the risk of ongoing enshittification of the company’s technology eroding government services, and in part because the company’s owners can’t stop talking like wannabe fascist dweebs.
