What is so different between Evil Spymaster for the US Govt [1], and Evil Spymaster for every advertiser [2], and potentially other govts, and the Evil Spymaster that sells your data [3]? Perhaps the exception is that one doesn't mine on their own and merely integrates data, whereas the other 2 are actively weaponizing data against their own users?

- derefr 5y agoI believe the sense anti-Palantir people have is that queries against Palantir's database directly result in people being put under criminal/terrorist suspicion; and that that's kinda the whole point of their business model. Advertisers generally aren't out to kill you.
