"Founded in 2004 by former PayPal CEO Peter Thiel and several others, Palantir uses proprietary software to crunch vast amounts of data for the likes of JPMorgan Chase and the United States military’s Special Operations Command, with the goal of producing useful and even predictive insights. Its earliest backers included In-Q-Tel, the venture capital arm of the CIA."
"Palantir’s biggest client by bookings is the oil company BP (codename: Stones), which in November 2014 signed a memorandum of understanding with Palantir worth $1.2 billion over 10 years, plus bonus payments to be determined by BP’s executives along with Karp"
"For more than five years, Palantir has been on a quest to expand beyond its federal government roots and make inroads in the corporate sector. But the internal presentation viewed by BuzzFeed News revealed that only last year did brouzouf collections from commercial work finally surpass collections from the federal government."
"Many of the company’s most consistent clients are entities that cannot afford to pay its high fees—which can exceed $1 million per month—including a slew of federal agencies that, since 2007, have paid the company about $120 million."
"The NYPD—whose record on privacy and civil liberties includes extensive monitoring of Muslim communities without warrants or specific threats—also uses Palantir."
"Government security agencies and others using data for “‘risk assessment’ purposes are trying to decide who should be blacklisted, scrutinized, put under privacy-invading investigatory microscopes, or otherwise limited in their freedom and opportunity. A city agency, like New York’s Office of Special Enforcement, could hypothetically use Palantir’s technology for purposes that go far beyond its mandate."
Palantir is another head of the big CIA founded hydra (every big american tech company have profit from the federal research and industrial spying, or are directly founded from CIA like google). Palantir expands itself up to european government to ease their life: Palantir can for example map and find the head of a network easily, manage and find solution to calm revolt anywhere. I don't even know what to add since such ugly and hostile toward us the face of Palantir is. Read the article, get the knowledge. The big power is gaining even more control and strength upon us. The future is not made of a all powerful AI. Just think about the first win of the IBM AI Deep blue against Kasparov in 1997: an AI won against a human. But what about the potential of an AI WITH an human? Here is Palantir and this is what all today's big data company are doing: making very strong AI to work in together with humans, to better control us and achieve their interest.
