>When we offload the moral impetus for society from politics to technology,

I mean Palantir exec and their employees are part of society too right ? They themself are making moral choice when working for such technology instead of joining tables for hospitals.

Our social contract bestows individuals with freedom and governments with the monopoly of violence to police the limits of individual freedom.

If the acts of law abiding individuals (or groups) are a net negative for society, that is not an individual failure. Fiduciary responsibility is a useful parallel: it is not the job of a sugar manufacturer to think about the public health aspects of sugar. Their responsibility to their shareholders is to produce clean, safe, and edible sugar at competitive prices and do a good job with marketing and distributin, that's all.
