I mean, I’m even more skeptical that Palantir or its customers were concerned about killing former members or supporters of the Soviet Union prior to 2009. The focus was probably the War on Terror and related crimes.

Alex Karp was calling himself a self-described socialist as recently as 2018.

If it's about the War on Terror and related crimes, why have they also (since their inception) gathered such vast troves of data and profiles on U.S. citizens?

    I am talking about at the founding. Their mission has obviously shifted from then.

      Hasn't Palantir been gathering and storing data on U.S. citizens since the earliest days of the company?
