Palantir: hey dude want to work for a company whose job it is to help punish people, manipulate, and violate their privacy through big data?
Engineer: sure! Just as long as I'm not enforcing a national border that's where I draw the line!
- gervase 7y agoIf you replace "punish" with "control" I think that's an easily-extensible template, because isn't that ultimately tied to the personal ethics of the employee? <Some Company>: hey dude want to work for a company whose job it is to help manipulate and control people by violating their privacy through big data? Engineer: sure! Just as long as it doesn't violate this very specific aspect of my personal ethics! That could easily describe Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.
