What do you think Palantir does that would have them scanning FB chat?
- tolkienfanatic 11y agoPalantir does tons of government and military work.
- cubecul 11y agoDoesn't answer my question deeply enough.

- pjc50 11y agoMilitary == antiterrorism == SELECT * FROM chat WHERE text CONTAINS "jihad"
- RodericDay 11y agoalso "inequality" and "capitalism"
- rev_bird 11y agoBig data analytics is their bread and butter – if they had a way to analyze Facebook messages for patterns and predictively useful metrics, I'm sure they would.
- cubecul 11y agoAFAIK not analytics, but an interface that makes exploring data easier for analysts
- diminoten 11y agoThey do analytics as well.
- Bedon292 11y agoThey are mostly about exploring the data yes, but they also do some data mining in the content in order to make connections. They attempt to pull out names and link them together and things along those lines. I think they would be far more interested in mining all of the friendships to do the network analysis than the content of the chats.
