Who really knows the most about us? Google, Microsoft and Palantir
A comparison of observation, data-correlation and operational capability, and the implications for Poland and the European Union.
The report compares the observation, data-correlation and operational capabilities of Google, Microsoft and Palantir. The firmest finding is conditional: Google may build the widest picture of a consumer’s daily life, Microsoft a particularly deep picture of work and identity inside an organisation, and Palantir an operationally useful picture of a person or organisation from data supplied by the client. There is no public, comparable evidence that any of these firms is the unconditional leader in all three categories.
