Former Palantir workers condemn company's work with Trump administration

Ex-employees of Palantir, a data-mining company backed by Trump ally Peter Thiel, have criticized the firm for its involvement in U.S. immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, claiming that its software violated ethical principles and undermined democracy. Many former employees felt Palantir upheld democratic values after joining but now see their work supporting authoritarian practices. Their letters highlight concerns about AI misuse, collaboration with government surveillance programs, and broader implications for civil liberties, reflecting a growing backlash against big tech's ties to Trump's administration.
