Espionage and surveillance is a misrepresentation of what Palintir does; every Fortune 500 company does similar if we use this definition.
And they’re not police, so of course they’re not held to that standard, just like you or I aren’t held to that standard.
- Barrin92 3y ago>And they’re not police, so of course they’re not held to that standard That's a strong claim given that Palantir has sold and deployed so called "predictive policing" technology to the police forces of New Orleans[1] (without city council knowledge, so much for the accountability) and even directly advertises itself as a defense company[2]. Their revenue is overwhelmingly contract with national governments, again mostly for police or defense work. That's not how you, I or most Fortune 500 companies do business.

- redcobra762 3y agoIt’s in no way a strong claim, as the cleaning services of the New Orleans Police Department are also not police. And it absolutely is how you, I, and every other employed organization works. You seem to not understand what a contractor is.
