How does Palantir aim to deal with the widening criticism of its role in (and contracts with) various parts of the public sector?
Yes, of course: hire Lord Tom Watson (once deputy leader of the Labour Party, and Labour insider) as a senior Vice President.
We can be pretty sure his role will be to repair relations with the Govt,. and combat (bat away) criticisms of the efficacy & security of Palantir's technology.
Its a classic move, and hardly a surprise!
