2020 Forbes - Palantir, The Peter Thiel-Backed $20 Billion Big Data Cruncher, Scores $17 Million Coronavirus Emergency Relief Deal
2020 Forbes also revealed earlier this week that the U.S. Coast Guard, a department within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), had contracted Palantir for $8 million for its own COVID-19 response efforts.
2020 Palantir is now working with at least 12 governments on their responses to coronavirus, according to two sources with knowledge of its COVID-19 work.
That was, in part, because of Palantir's links to the U.S. military intelligence complex: it was funded by the CIA's venture capital fund, In-Q-Tel, and was said to have helped find Osama bin Laden.
The uneasiness from privacy bodies was also related to Palantir's work with Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has drawn some criticism from human rights groups.
