How so? Exposing and holding people and companies accountable for wrong behavior does not stop anyone from trying to change the government policies that encourage the wrong behavior. The added media exposure probably helps, especially with people that are interested in the person/company but are not aware of the government policies and their impact.

That's the question, right? Is this wrong behavior? It's legal, that's for sure. Just because you don't agree with ICE's actions doesn't mean every Palantir employee agrees with you.

All of your replies in this topic have been logical fallacies:

1. "Someone else would have done it."

2. False dichotomy.

And now piling on:

3. Moral relativism.

4. Finish the Job. (#49 in http://utminers.utep.edu/omwilliamson/engl1311/fallacies.htm)

That's not really constructive. Do you have an actual point to make?

You were complaining about logical fallacies and then discredit my argument as "trolling". Pot, kettle, etc.
