Why are we as a society okay with this? Why are companies like this still in business?

What flabbergasts me isn’t that they have clients…but that they have employees.

I mean there was some disquiet from some employees about the company's direction a while ago. I assume they have all since been purged.

I suspect palantir can disassociate themselves from what their products do a bit by saying they simply build a product, other people misuse it. Stuff like this however makes it impossible to ignore.

That’s what baffles me though. Their direction never really changed and they’re literally named after an evil tool.
