I honestly don't understand what's dodgy about Palantir. They build a platform to analyze big data and they have clients like government agencies, immigration control and law enforcement. What's the big deal here? Please educate me
Mostly its founding history. Funded by CIA’s venture arm, was basically built bespoke for the CIA and rest of the USIC. These days, yeah, at least a large portion of the company (+product) is a pretty normal enterprise software company that happens to build data platforms.
