Not just potential for misuse. The people in charge of Palantir are the exact sort of people you don't want having access to any kind of data, because they will find a way to weaponize it, monetize it, or both; consequences or laws be damned. They're run not just by billionaires, not just by transhumanists, but by technofacist accelerationists.

The fall of Palantir cannot come too soon.

Palintir is THIELS nest egg, he is obssessed with surveillance that he names most of his companies after LOTR terms.
