Well the sad thing about this is that Palantir is actually doing some very good things with Lerna, Babel and Yarn and they tried to explain that...
...BUT SOME PEOPLE ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MIND AND JUST REFUSE TO LISTEN TO ANY REASON.
Do you want to hear what Palantir is ACTUALLY doing using these tools? Here you go:
"[...]We appreciate your concerns based on the article you linked to. We would like to clarify that Palantir's contracts are with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the ICE directorate responsible for investigating serious transnational criminal activity such as human trafficking, child exploitation, and counter-terrorism as opposed to the activities theorized in the article. We're happy to discuss your concerns in person if you're interested, please get in touch."

TL;DR: Palantir is helping the HSI unit within ICE to FIGHT CHILD ABUSE, STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND STOP TERRORISM.
Now can anyone explain to me what is so terribly wrong and evil about THAT? Anyone???
- freedomben 8y agoFinally somebody else that had this thought too. Those all sounded to me like really good things to do. Child abuse and human trafficking are heinously evil. If lerna thinks they are lying, they should say that instead of misrepresenting the truth to make a political point.
