Is Palantir a "Data-Mining Company" or is a military, law enforcement and surveillance company?
- r00fus 10y agoYes
- krona 10y agoYou could define Palantir more easily by which customers buy its products (Nat sec/law enforcement/military intelligence), and who specifically in those organisations use their software (mostly intelligence analysts.) By saying they are a "Data-Mining Company" is an obvious (to me) sign that they want to be able to position themselves in the public sector (e.g. banking, retail) with counter-fraud services/solutions, and perhaps more generic cyber security solutions for large organisations.
- jsprogrammer 10y agoPalantir has been deployed into banks for years.
