Despite Naming Coincidence, Palantir Not Part Of PRISM Program
It’s s dumb to postulate that, because big data and security startup Palantir has a similarly named product to PRISM, that it’s somehow culpable. And, in an emailed statement to the Financial Times’ Tim Bradshaw, Palantir has now refuted that exact claim,”Palantir’s Prism platform is completely unrelated to any US government program of the same name,” explaining that the Prism software is for banks, not for government. The Gawker story is unfortunate, because the story is apparently already causing the startup recruitment damageon Hacker News, as mysterious as they like to play it. Even if the startup were somehow involved in the government’s controversial data collection program, it’s sort of a paradox: Let’s say someone was using Facebook to send nasty messages to random girls …Facebook’s fault, or that person’s?You’re using the Internet to download kiddie porn,the Internet’s fault, or yours?
