Palantir is politically involved enough that I don't think we can raise any hackles about PRC that don't apply equally in practice to USA.

Absolutely absurd statement. Palantir doesn't run concentration camps.

Please point out easily found reports of the US governemnt kidnapping citizens and then torturing them and daring them to say something about it like happens on the regular in China and Russia and N. Korea. So yeah sorry, not the same. Do I think TLAs spy on US citizens without warrants or any good reason at all. Absolutely, but we aren't quite up to CCP/Russisan standards just yet.
