Former Palantir workers condemn company's work with Trump administration
Briefly

Thirteen former employees of Palantir publicly denounced the company's collaboration with the Trump administration following a $30 million deal with ICE. They argued that the company has strayed from its founding principles of democracy and ethical development of AI. This criticism highlights tensions around the company's technology, which is employed in military and law enforcement contexts. Although a small group within the larger workforce, their dissent shines light on the ethical concerns over surveillance and immigration enforcement, especially as Palantir's stock experiences significant gains since Trump took office.
These principles have now been violated, and are rapidly being dismantled at Palantir Technologies and across Silicon Valley.
Early Palantirians understood the ethical weight of building these technologies.
Palantir’s share price has surged more than 200% since Trump was elected.
Their customers include the Israel Defense Forces and the U.S. Department of Defense.
