World is not black and white. Most people would probably prefer to live in a world with low-power petty-crime rings and ability to be free and safe apart from having their wallet stolen once in a while rather than with e.g. Russian-like state mafia country with enormous amount of power and ability to target everyone at every time for their families interests. When you have a destroyed social ladder and everything can be taken at any moment under few people control immediately because they just want it.
That's apart from the fact that in the palantir case you also invite foreign intelligence and CIA to your home.
They're probably not being sarcastic. Wrong, and ppssibly evil, but not sarcastic. There are some weirdly big Palantir fans on HN. No clue what drives them, but I'm guessing they're not keen students of history.

It falls under the "social outreach" line item I believe
...or Tolkien.

Like leather-boot-head-stomping justice?
Dura lex sed lex
Sure, especially when patricians themselves are exempt from their laws and it's only a ToS for plebs.
Benn Jordan did a video recently where he showed Flock cameras, which were hackable, pointing at children's playgrounds. Who is stalking the children?
Cool. Britain has been doing this for a while.
So why do you think increasing surveillance will decrease the stalking of children?
Palantir is a child stalker tool.
