> After earning a degree in computer engineering from Stanford, Garry was an engineer at Palantir and then created one of the earliest and best-designed blogging platforms, Posterous.

This is a reminder that Palantir is the firm that sells data mining software to US police and military organizations that then use it to violate human rights.

It should be a black mark on anyone’s record.

I agree, but we should also go further:

Employees at Meta{Facebook, Instagram, Oculus, etc}, Twitter, Google, Palantir and Uber are all complicit in building systems that amplify surveillance capitalism and this goes for any other company engaging in this space.

It should be a big black mark on anyone’s record working at those companies.

AFAIK nobody ever got murdered by a CIA drone after using Uber.

The same cannot be said of Instagram or Gmail or iCloud (you forgot Apple on your list).
