If things like this upset you, you are seriously naive about the operations of your government. As a former Palantir employee, I can say with some confidence that the govt and private company's make efforts to ensure these things remain secret..
- badrabbit 6y agoIt helps them sell the deal. Like a secret weapon,as opposed to a liability.
- davedx 6y agoYou shouldn’t be less upset or angry just because you understand how the world works. Cynicism is self-defeating. Never resign yourself to this crap
- Taek 6y agoEchoing another commenter, it's absolutely okay to be upset about things that run-of-the mill. If we didn't get upset about everyday human rights violations, we'd still have slaves.

If you are embarrassed or maybe ashamed of your former association with Palantir, don't bring it up or don't get caught working there or both. I work on similar public healthcare projects where our website mentions the contracts, down to the division. I tell people in meetings I don't do things I wouldn't stand by on public record. Own it.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoI wouldn't to be honest; they are a whistleblower and unless they manage to get a lot of media attention, there's a chance they'll "disappear" or "commit suicide"; Palantir is a dodgy company with people, influence and interests going very high up.
- 616c 6y agoI bet they are, I think my comment was reasonably sarcastic. If you have to bad mouth them under an alias, you know you do not want to work for them.
