The stones themselves weren't evil. They were controlled by evil and corrupted by its presence.

He has previously said the British public’s affection for the NHS is a case of “Stockholm syndrome”

Wtf does that mean? "You are crazy for caring about your healthcare." lol

The Palantirs werent technically evil, they were just stones that let you see the truth, it's just the strong holders could manipulate what was seen through them by the weak holders to bend the truth seen.

In that respect the company is pretty aptly named, the owners (strong in the rights of the admin) can warp the insights to fit their narrative and feed those to the clients (weak in the rights of the admin). The problem being that the clients are also feeding huge amounts of data (truth) to owners to allow them to do their work. That data is ours.

Arguably, the naming of the company should at least give any government pause for thought about the reliability of the information provided to them and the true cost of feeding information to them. It's not like the company isn't broadcasting the issues with their system by using that specific name .. surely there's no in depth discussion of how a system like this could possibly end badly for someone who doesn't have completed control over it?!

give any government pause for thought

Would have to still be capable of thought. The US gov is just a machine you stick a few million into and it sucks your dick lol.

Palantir is literally a stock villain corporation in a cyberpunk novel and I do not in any way, shape, or form, trust them with any form of data.

Man Im not experienced in paying for blow jobs but my gut feeling is that you could get a pretty great one a lot cheaper than that. I dunno, maybe the multi million dollar bureaucracy blow job is really really great.
