The opening anecdote of this article is not a great look for Palantir. 100% consistency with the underlying database ACLs has long been one of the major selling points of the Gotham platform; perhaps the most important one.
The fact that (according to the FOIA emails, per the article) the gang detective was asking for a fix for the ACL on a specific record and not hearing back for months while the record remained accessible to other officers who should not have seen it is especially surprising, and bad.
- whatnotests 9y agoAny "data" company must have full chain-of-custody for each one of their data points (where did we get it, how did we clean it, how would we update it, what was it previously, what has changed since X time, etc). Otherwise they're just making accusations without any defense from repudiation.
