I have implied nothing of the sort.

I have, however, implied that "Helping the government do its job" has no bearing on the morality of your actions. What the job is does.

It's intellectually dishonest to draw a comparison of IBM helping the Nazi's commit a genocidal action to the US government deporting illegal aliens, and then say "well I didn't _imply_ anything"

Either that or you're being deliberately obtuse and are trolling.

It's intellectually dishonest to dismiss any ethical controversy about your behaviour with "Well, I'm making a lot of money by helping a government do what it wants, so surely I'm in the clear."

Palantir assists with quite a number of... Ethically controversial government activities.
