VISA's transaction data is not the same as Facebook's social data. Combining the two is the point of concern. We have financial regulatory laws for this reason
Combining those two with thousands more is the point of Palantir, and has been since its beginning.

Good thing they dont share the actual data and only share hashes ;)
