Peter Thiel en La Moneda: Juan Carlos Lara alerta sobre tecnoligarquía, seguridad y opacidad

The government confirmed that José Antonio Kast met at La Moneda Palace with Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, but avoided disclosing the content of the meeting. In a conversation with Mirna Schindler, lawyer and co-executive director of Derechos Digitales (Digital Rights), Juan Carlos Lara, warns that the meeting cannot be understood merely as a protocol meeting or a discussion about technological innovation. Lara analyzes Thiel's political influence, his connection to Palantir, the rise of technolibertarian discourses critical of democracy, and the risk that the security agenda will open the door to mass surveillance systems, cross-referencing of databases, and artificial intelligence applied to state control. He also addresses Palantir's role in Latin America, the cases of Ecuador and Argentina, the lack of transparency surrounding the meeting at La Moneda, and the use of legal arguments to prevent public scrutiny. A conversation about technology, power, and democracy at a time when security is becoming the gateway to new forms of surveillance.
