After spending almost 6 years at #Palantir, I know something about what they do and what they don’t do. As a result, I want to address the inaccuracies in the 6/30 @nytimes article that’s been picked up by multiple outlets this week. 🧵 1/11
In this thread, I speak solely for myself. I departed Palantir in April (and will share my new chapter soon!). My purpose here is simple: to call for honest and accurate reporting—especially in an era increasingly shaped by distortion and #disinformation. 2/11
Plenty of people have valid criticisms of Palantir—I at times raised concerns while there, as the culture encourages. I believe in speaking up. I also believe in getting the facts right and straight. Criticize what you find problematic—but start with the truth. 3/11
INACCURACY #1: The headline “Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans” is fundamentally wrong. Palantir doesn’t do that. They provide software that helps organizations analyze data those organizations already possess.
