The idea that it's harder to query and delete everything relating to a person from a well-organized graph than from the typical corporate patchwork of data systems seems very improbable. The post also reads like a barely tweaked Gemini output. I'm not a Palantir fan, but this feels flimsy.

Fair point. I realize that I oversimplified.. My main argument is that the Ontology isn't a clean internal graph. It ingests from sources Palantir doesn't own or control, so deleting your node doesn't touch the upstream data. And inferred edges (risk scores, behavioral patterns) were never stored as discrete objects. You can't delete an inference.

And, I will hold my hand up to say I did use an LLM (Claude, actually). But only to make the text read and flow better (something I definitely won't do again). The underlying research is my own and something I am very passionate about. Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate it. :)

I appreciate the work you're doing! Speaking as someone who had to manually execute CCPA right to delete requests in a past life, the state of this capability in most enterprises is pretty lacking. I hope to read stronger/clearer content from you on this topic in the future.
