Palantir employees are talking about company's "descent into fascism"

"Last fall, Palantir seemed to become the technological backbone of Trump's immigration enforcement machinery, providing software identifying, tracking, and helping deport immigrants on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security."

"There's this feeling not of 'Oh, this is unpopular and hard,' but 'This feels wrong.'"

"As Palantir deepens its relationship with an administration that many workers fear is wreaking havoc at home, employees are finally raising these concerns internally."

Palantir employees have raised alarms about the company's involvement in immigration enforcement under the Trump administration. Concerns about civil liberties have intensified as Palantir's software aids in tracking and deporting immigrants. Former employees describe a growing unease, feeling that the company's actions are morally wrong. Founded with CIA investment post-9/11, Palantir has historically faced criticism, but the current political climate has prompted employees to reconsider their roles and the implications of their work in relation to ongoing conflicts and policies.
