Original caption

@Chipotle chose to partner with Palantir, a company deeply tied to ICE surveillance and deportation infrastructure, and they should be held accountable for that choice. Food safety matters. But so do immigrant workers, immigrant families, and the human beings harmed by the systems Palantir helps build. Chipotle cannot market itself as a company that cares about its people while sending money to a company profiting from their fear. Your burrito bowl should not come with a side of ICE surveillance. #Chipotle #Palantir #BoycottChipotle #ImmigrantRights #immigrantsmakeamericagreat

Product placement

Chipotle: a fast-casual restaurant chain that serves Mexican-inspired food. It ACTS as the subject of the video, as its partnership with Palantir is discussed. Removing it would change the video's topic. Palantir: a software company that builds platforms for data analysis. It ACTS as a partner to Chipotle and is discussed in relation to its work with ICE. Removing it would change the video's topic. WIRED: a magazine that reports on technology and culture. It APPEARS as a source of information, but removing it would not change the video's core message. It is incidental. ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement): a government agency. It ACTS as a client of Palantir, and its work is discussed in relation to Palantir's capabilities. Removing it would change the video's context.

Call to action

Keep that in mind the next time you're hungry for a burrito bowl!
