This isn’t accurate, Palantir business model includes mass surveillance for military/security purposes; if a company is concerned with privacy should think twice before handling it to Palantir, even if with all the assurances they might give in terms of data governance.
- basket_horse 7mo agoThis is like saying a Swiss bank would share your secrets because shady people use Swiss banks. No. Confidentiality is literally built into their business model. Getting caught sharing customer data is one of the fastest ways for their business to crumble.
- croon 7mo agoBeing a customer of a bank and being in a Palantir dataset is not the same. The people in the data are not the customers of Palantir.
- fzeroracer 7mo agoHow many times are we gonna have to see businesses get caught sharing customer data before we learn to not just trust them?
- NetMageSCW 7mo agoWhat software from what companies do you use to store your personal data?
- timacles 7mo agoI’m sorry what? Confidentiality is built into palantirs business model? Do you even know who Palantir is? Your analogy makes zero sense What’s up with all these Palantir shills in this thread
- basket_horse 7mo agoHow does it not make sense? Companies all over the world trust their proprietary data with Palantir platforms. There’s no way they would do this if they thought Palantir was actually sharing data without their approval. If they were found out to have done this, companies would cease to trust Palantir and stop working with them
- timacles 7mo agoPalantirs main function is collecting massive amounts of data and mining it. You and all the trolls in this thread can keep playing dumb
- Manuel_D 7mo ago> This isn’t accurate, Palantir business model includes mass surveillance for military/security purposes; You realize that this is not mutually exclusive with what I just wrote? Palantir builds software for military and security purposes. But the customers don't give this data to Palantir, custody of this data remains with the customer.
- jgalt212 7mo ago> Palantir builds software for military and security purposes. But the customers don't give this data to Palantir, custody of this data remains with the customer. How is that possible if Palantir software runs on machines Palantir controls?
- ej88 7mo ago1. on prem 2. extremely strict data controls, if one of palantirs big customers found out data got leaked people are going to prison
- fluidcruft 7mo agoYou think people go to prison for this sort of thing? How laughably quaint.
- ej88 7mo agoyes am close with a few employees there
- luma 7mo agoAmen. People seem to struggle with the concept of private datacenters these days. Palantir customers tend to be the sorts of orgs that are pretty paranoid about their data, and they wouldn't be handing it over to some schmucks without being confident that those concerns were addressed. Militaries and governments generally aren't fuckin around with things like intelligence data, so I think it's reasonable that Palantir is able to make a convincing case to the world's most paranoid orgs that their data isn't being sent anywhere (and it'd likely be air gapped anyway). Just because everything you touch is in the cloud doesn't mean other orgs aren't still building their own datacenters and then buying software to run inside.
