The Investor Alliance for Human Rights, a nonprofit initiative focusing on investor responsibility, published a risk briefing earlier this month warning about Palantir's business relationships with governments with questionable human rights records and potential challenges in complying with data privacy and anti-corruption laws.
“Essentially, what they're saying to investors is: Trust us. Yet they don't really provide a whole lot of information about how they're going to handle an enormous number of risks,” Michael Connor, executive director of Open MIC, a corporate accountability nonprofit that has also worked on shareholder campaigns targeting Amazon, Twitter, Facebook and Google, told me.
Palantir acknowledges in its filing that criticism of how the company addresses “political and social concerns” is a risk factor for investors.
