I mean it's another case of "Are we the baddies?" where they talk about having the skull on the uniform.

Like your company is literally called Palantir, after the object from the Tolkien universe (if you're living under a rock), which allows the user to see things happening in other places, and allows "A wielder of great power such as Sauron could dominate a weaker user through the stone".

Not only that but your company's founder goes around the world doing lectures about the Antichrist.

And if that wasn't enough, you're working with governments around the world to oppress citizens and have been complicit in a literal genocide by partnering with Israel in the past years.

I mean if you're not the baddies, then maybe Voldemort is just misunderstood, and the Joker is the good guy, etc.
