Would you prefer that militaries have less-capable software to make targeting decisions?

Perhaps it would be preferable at least to not mix civilian health data or regular business data, with mass surveillance data, and with military industrial complex and kill chain data. It would make sense to have an interest in keeping different kinds of personal data in separate places and not have it thrown around companies with quite different interests or collected together within some company that's involved in quite different industries. So why does it not make sense to apologists of this company?

Are you claiming palantir will put a back door in their software and steal NHS data?

If so, is there any example of them ever doing this to a customer, or is it baseless speculation?

Alternatively, are you climing the NHS is giving planter data and usage rights?

How capable it is do you think at this moment. I guess we need 30 more years for software to get better, so less than 20 thousand children dies in the Gaza genocide.

I would prefer that militaries do not deliberately genocide civilians and antagonize non-combatants.

That's a "motherhood statement"[1] - you haven't answered the question.

Militaries make targeting decisions with data. That's entirely separate to whether they have been ordered by civilian government to target something, and Palantir do not control that part of decision making (you as a voter do! You did vote right?)
