A new name to pay attention to: Palantir

Mark Zuckerberg questioned by the Senate Commerce Committee.

A new name to pay attention to: Palantir.

Palantir’s clients include the CIA, DHS, NSA, the FBI and more.

Founded by Peter Thiel and very friendly with Facebook.

Here’s what the UK’s Guardian says about the company:

“It is all-powerful, yet no one knows it even exists. Palantir does not have an office, it has a ‘SCIF’ on a back street in Palo Alto, California. SCIF stands for ‘sensitive compartmentalised information facility’. Palantir says its building ‘must be built to be resistant to attempts to access the information within. The network must be ‘airgapped’ from the public internet to prevent information leakage.”
