| 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. |

| > 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. |

2. extremely strict data controls, if one of palantirs big customers found out data got leaked people are going to prison | | |
| ▲ | luma 39 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Amen. 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. | |

| This 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. |

| ▲ | timacles 37 minutes ago | parent | prev [-] | | I’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 |
