Tweak

Don’t they usually include “update” or “changed to include” and a time stamp when that happens?

No. These days news articles are updated all the time with new information and nothing to tell you. More often than not, people don't notice.

A more succinct summary.

Dude, the US has been lagging behind the UK for the last decade. We voted for Brexit because of Cambridge Analytica, then you voted Trump for the first time because of Cambridge Analytica. We voted for Boris in 2019, you got Trump again in 2024. We're probably going to vote in Nigel Farage next and then the US will be like "Hold my beer!"

Palantir is just another symptom of this wider problem.
