Maybe they should consider rebranding, then. The word comes from Tolkein's Lord of the Rings series - the palantir were telepathic communication devices which were often used to deceive others by showing selective truths and lies of omission.

Not really. They are in the business of spying on every living human being and offering that as a service to more or less scrupulous agencies.

Citation needed. They are certainly in the business of selling software that is useful for those who spy on people. But where is any actual evidence that Palantir spies on anyone?

(I have no particular interest in Palantir.)

[eurasiantiger]

They offer SaaS only.
