Yes. In practice, Palantir enables obfuscation of the "fruit of the poisonous tree".
Enabling a parallel construction in a surveillance state should draw hate, as it weakens the fourth amendment.
- phendrenad2 1y agoThe thing is, Palantir doesn't enable that, their software does. And if Palantir didn't exist, the government could simply create it. (Some will say that the government is too incompetent to write software, to which I point to the US Digital Service, and also point out that trusting hyperbole is always a bad idea). My point isn't that you shouldn't hate on Palantir, but that in doing so often the cause and effect get reversed in people's minds. They think that Palantir is the cause and eroded civil liberties is the result, when the opposite is true.
