    Yeah because working with Trump is what makes the company evil, not like, oh I don’t know, everything else they do.

      Yeah I saw the company name and was like “wait, aren’t these the Israel AI people”, turns out they’re just universally morally bankrupt.

      A palantír is one of several indestructible crystal balls from J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic-fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings. The word comes from Quenya palan ‘far’, and tir ‘watch over’. The palantírs were used for communication and to see events in other parts of Arda, or in the past.

      It is in the name.

    Did you see the CEO scoffing at the protests of a woman whose family were being murdered in Gaza. Complete sociopath.

    Ethics? Trump? The companies stock price has almost quadroupled over the past year. Since Trumps election it nearly doubled.

    Everyone who knows the company knows that it serves to aid authoritarian regimes in oppressing its people. It is known that Palantir serves Israel in its genocide and oppression of the Palestinian people. The entire purpose of this company is to help oppress. Palantir is having ties with the ICE since at least 2014.

    It is evil through and through and it is laughable to claim that Trump would be the reason why the company would have gone to far.

    Wait, so now they have a crisis of conscious? After they stop getting paid, suddenly they have an issue with the horrible shit Palantir does?

    Nah, fam, you don’t get to back out of responsibility.

      Remarkable how that happens, isn’t it? The company was fine while they received a paycheque but the very next day they are despicable.

      It’s a data mining company founded by Peter Thiel, what did they think was going to happen?

        How did the company named after the thing Sauron used to communicate with/spy on Saruman lose its moral compass?

          They didn’t give a shit until their company was in the public spotlight, that’s all that matters

    These types of headlines and articles are what keep Americans divided. Palantir is a terrible company regardless of their actions with the Trump administration. People need to stop being so partisan and see how the government is corrupt nearly as a whole.

      Pretty sure Palantir got the “Keep Americans Divided” contract and not the non-profit radio stations that do Tiny Desk concerts and have to do fundraisers all the time to keep the lights on.
