>I mean part of the backlash against Palantir is that the CEO is Jewish

Dont be disingenuous, you know damn well the backlash isn't because he is jewish. Its because of the business relationship with the Israeli government and how Palintirs tech has been used as a tool in Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people.

>just read any internet comment thread on the topic

You're the first comment in this thread or any ive seen, mentioning the CEOs religion.

>I have heard nothing but great things about them from service member friends/family

Really? And what is it that these friends and family members are saying great things about Palintir?

This reads like some grade A marketing bot bullshit

>I imagine backing up might not be as easy an option without tearing down the device as the memory chip is no the device mainboard, so not something you can necessarily do on the side of the road or at a border

Oh you sweet innocent child. US Customs and Boarder agents, every federal agency, and most local law enforcement agencies all have Cellebrite, Oxygen, or an equivalent tool which can perform a full device extraction on basically any phone expect for a pixel running Graphene OS with the current updates and a new model iPhone also running it's current updates. Every other phone on the market in the US can be cracked and extracted by cellebrite simply by plugging in a usb-c cable. Even a stock pixel, Samsung, iPhone, etc. Typically they would absolutely need a warrant to perform a device extraction but the supreme court has ruled that at boarder crossings, a person is not actually in the US until allowed entry by an agent and by not being in the US, US law and constitutional rights dont apply. If you are a US citizen, they can not deny you entry but that can keep your phone and attempt to extract it at a later time when exploits may be uncovered to break the encryption or bypass it completely
