It's a U.S. domestic surveillance operation, disguised as a defense contractor.

Or really, it's not disguised at all. The company is named after Tolkein's palantíri, so they weren't being shy about it.

It's a company that exists solely to exploit a loophole that shouldn't have been upheld, effectively eliminating the fourth amendment.

The way I see it is that sousveillance is the correct response to surveillance.

If people feel threatened by this organization and the people who make it up they should start doing to them what they're doing to everyone else.

Who specifically works at Palantir? What do they look like? Where do they live? What kind of vehicle do they drive? How do they spend their free time? Who do they associate with?

These are all very interesting questions.

Questions that can be answered and answers that can be distributed online, forever.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

No secrets.

Wrong. It does surveillance for multiple countries militaries. And also for private companies.

Also wrong. Palantir itself does not do surveillance. It sells software to government agencies, who use that software to conduct surveillance.

If the IRS uses Excel, that doesn't mean Microsoft is actively catching tax evasion. Microsoft is selling spreadsheet software, and one of the users of that software is the IRS.
