Actually, it's not just the company but rather Lessig's message itself that bothers me. Read my other comment here for details. Nobody is suggesting any direct link between Lessig and the CIA, but the ties between Palantir and the surveillance program is becoming obvious. Use Occam's razor. * Palantir was funded by the CIA * Palantir is exactly what the NSA PRISM program needs * Palantir also had a PRISM product * Palantir had been associated with the surveillance program in recent Anonymous leaks (right? during the HBGary scandal) * Facebook (which is known to participate with PRISM) & Palantir share Sean Parker * Facebook/Google/etc have already denied association with PRISM by factually true but evasive statements. Same with Palantir's recent statement.
