Palantir is a data analysis company. Data analysis is just one part of what the NSA does. Other important functions of the NSA include cyber warfare, cryptography, and data collection. I have not read that Palantir does any of that.

You're not paying very much attention. CyberWarfare: https://myprivacy.blog/australias-cyber-warfare-division-signs-largest-ever-palantir-contract-what-it-means-for-national-security-and-digital-sovereignty/ Conventional Warfare Kill Chain / Communications https://time.com/6293398/palantir-future-of-warfare-ukraine/ As far as cryptography goes... cryptography basically **_is_** data analysis, in many respects. Obviously they work with and in the field of cryptography, certainly their live military comm networks need to... be encrypted. Data collection? They get all the data of everything they are plugged into, everyone who sells data to them, like Oura, for example. https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/09/smart-ring-maker-ouras-ceo-addresses-recent-backlash-says-future-is-a-cloud-of-wearables/
