NEW: Users as young as 13 can access dozens of nudify apps on both Apple and Google phones, even when parental controls are enabled, a new TTP report finds. techtransparencyproject.org/…
After Democratic wins, Palantir is cozying up to the left: hiring former Dem. Sen. Jon Tester as an advisor, while CEO Alex Karp is claiming to be “progressive.”
Some cry hypocrisy, but TTP has documented how playing both sides is a key Palantir strategy. techtransparencyproject.org/…
After a group of Dem. lawmakers demanded answers from Palantir about its role in DHS surveillance, @RonWyden expressed dissatisfaction with the answers, signaling they may use “compulsory processes” to get more complete information. npr.org/2026/11/09/nx-s1-602…

Despite Palantir’s efforts to build ties with members of both parties—and its most recent campaign to paint the company as friendly to Democratic legislators—it remains to be seen whether those ties will be strong enough to fend off a new wave of scrutiny. techtransparencyproject.org/…

Meta’s influence efforts extend beyond just trying to get individual academics on side. A 2023 TTP report laid out how the company and Zuckerberg’s personal philanthropic efforts have donated hundreds of millions to institutions around the country. techtransparencyproject.org/…
Meta had an internal PR plan to try and discredit Jon Haidt because he was a critic of social media.
Meta was going to recruit academics, like Andrew Gelman, to write take down pieces. They were trying to turn academics against one another through a "whisper strategy".
This is a very serious problem for open academic debate. If academics who share negative evidence about a platform are targeted by campaigns to smear our credibility, we are in deep, deep trouble.
This creates a very serious conflict of interest for anyone who is paid to do this.

TTP and @FBoversight created a searchable database of institutions and programs that have received money either directly from Meta, or from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the philanthropic organization founded by Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan. techtransparencyproject.org/…

In response to the report, Apple stated that apps that replace clothes with “swimwear or lingerie” do not constitute nudification nor violate their policies against nonconsensual intimate imagery. Yet Apple has removed apps that do just that, such as Glam AI and PollyBuzz.
