Gawker encroached his privacy, but Palantir was built to do exactly that to the public, at scale.
- prepend 9y agoAre you sure? Palantir doesn’t encroach privacy more than R or SAS or any of the other myriad analytics software. Are there examples of Palantir collecting data? Or violating user privacy?
- dahdum 9y agoThey work directly with the government to enable them to do so. I’m not faulting them directly, just pointing out why the link can be made. I think Palantir is mostly a joke, overpaid consultants selling subpar technology backed by slick salespeople and PowerPoints. Like IBM.
