FWIW Palantir gave a pretty ironclad denial on the record for this article:
> A spokesperson for Palantir told CNBC the company has never had a relationship with Cambridge Analytica and has never worked on any Cambridge Analytica data. Cambridge Analytica was not immediately available for comment.
- rhizome 9y agoDoes that include SCL and Emerdata and any other entities in this intentional warren of shell companies?
- Panjam 9y agoYes, this. It seems SCL associates have exploited the commercial veil very effectively and we need to look behind that veil to work out what happened. I would also say that SCL has very cleverly exploited the difference between equity and contract payments to subvert spending caps. Invest a business...no spending cap.... I hate these guys. I'm a proud Brit, I do biz globally, and these guys have trashes Brand UK. I'm sometimes close to tears at what these guys have done.
- dbt00 9y agoAaaaand it turns out that a Palantir dude did talk to CA and suggest ideas. Palantir still says they turned down all opportunities and had no interest in doing any kind of partisan election work.
