This isn’t accurate, Palantir business model includes mass surveillance for military/security purposes; if a company is concerned with privacy should think twice before handling it to Palantir, even if with all the assurances they might give in terms of data governance.

You realize that this is not mutually exclusive with what I just wrote?

Palantir builds software for military and security purposes. But the customers don't give this data to Palantir, custody of this data remains with the customer.

This is like saying a Swiss bank would share your secrets because shady people use Swiss banks. No. Confidentiality is literally built into their business model. Getting caught sharing customer data is one of the fastest ways for their business to crumble.
