Palantir Workers Are Finally Noticing The Skulls On Their Caps
Summary
Techdirt examines growing internal dissatisfaction at Palantir as employees question the company's direction and use of its surveillance tools, highlighted by a 22-point manifesto. The piece connects internal AMAs, rogue PCL interventions, and external reporting (Wired) to argue that the company’s shift toward more controversial deployments raises civil liberties concerns and could affect its ability to sell and recruit. It also emphasizes the broader message that employee dissent can act as a check on powerful tech deployments.
