It is interesting to hear this argument in Silicon Valley’s double standards and modern “relative moralism” environment. What exactly are your moral concerns? It is “controversial” because people have so many diff. opinions on what is considered “ethical” these days.
Palantir has a bad rap in SV because liberal media likes to criticize it mainly due to its work with ICE.

Palantir’s performance from here can be more like Uber’s.. which is yawning compared to heavy hitters like PACB or SQ.
