This is like saying Raytheon's core business is antennas. Yes, Palantir does data analysis, specifically for ICE, the military and the police.
- prepend 7y agoPalantir is private so hard to know revenue breakdown. But hard to believe that over 50% of their revenue (what I would consider core) comes from ICE, military and police. I found this article [0] from 2018 that said half of its $1B in revenue comes from government and the other half from corporate. So if every penny of government work comes from ICE and ICE-likes maybe that’s core.

- tzakrajs 7y agoWhat if the other corporations they serve are subcontracted by LEO, ICE and CBP? Palantir is deeply in cahoots with CBP/ICE and Peter Thiel (isn't even a US Citizen so I can't even call him a traitor, but) is an enemy of the American people. Fuck ICE, Fuck Palantir, Fuck Peter Thiel
