Companies hire hackers to help them harden their systems and prevent being hacked.

I don't know much about Palantir but if they advertise themselves as a spy company then maybe they could help shed some light on common methods used in the industry to prevent just that.

No. Palantir are making an AI that can be used in warfare. Their tech is also about allowing governments to spy on civilians.

They absolutely are a privacy concern.
