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.
