Let that sink in for a moment, folks. Then go back and read this other part.

So, at Palantir they trust the government that they know is trying to use their product unlawfully. With all due respect, I think many of us are a little more sparing with our trust.
- RedTennisRacket 9y agoNot every government in every country is of the same quality in terms of e.g. corruptibility and willingness to improve. That's just how it is. It's not too different from other companies that are not expanding into certain regions because they don't consider the region politically stable or developed enough, for instance. That doesn't contradict the belief that law enforcement is necessary and good.
