Airbus uses Palantir Foundry, which I think is not that controversial.
The controversial things everyone talks about are their other products like Gotham which is for the police/military.
In germany it is Unconstitutional to use.
Here is a german article about it: https://www.hessenschau.de/politik/warum-die-polizei-software-hessendata-von-palantir-so-problematisch-ist-v2,urteil-bundesverfassungsgericht-hessendata-100.html https://www.hessenschau.de/politik/warum-die-polizei-softwar...
- lolive 3y agoGood to know, thanks. [yes, we mostly use Foundry]
- ng12 3y agoFWIW Foundry isn't that much different than their government products. It's just a platform for data management and analysis.
- ng12 3y agoSo you're saying selling any sort of data analytics software to the government is a criminal act?
- Sporktacular 3y agoIf it breaks the laws of the land you can call it illegal. And without doubt immoral if it's used to mass control and surveil populations.
- ng12 3y agoImmorality is a tricky subject but the original commenter was specifically talking about illegality. Whatever your feelings about Palantir's business (and the defense contracting business as a whole) I don't think there's any convincing argument that Palantir is engaged in illegal or illicit business.
