You hate to see a 21st century tech company -- like Palantir -- imitate a 20th century tech company in aiding and abetting crimes against humanity.
I'm referring, of course to IBM supplying the punch-card machines Nazi Germany used to round up "undesirables."
Use your favorite search engine, if you don't believe me.

Numbers, please! 30-30 Winchester: Hard disk standard from mainframe to IBM PC
The pioneering hard disk concept of the IBM 3340 became the industry standard as the 30-30 or Winchester, which also found its way into PCs in the 1980s.
Zahlen, bitte! 30-30 Winchester: Festplattenstandard vom Großrechner zum IBM-PC
Das wegweisende Festplattenkonzept der IBM 3340 mauserte sich als 30-30 oder Winchester zum Industriestandard, der in den 1980ern auch Einzug in PCs hielt.
"Without IBM's machinery, continuing upkeep and service, as well as the supply of punch cards, whether located on-site or off-site, Hitler's camps could have never managed the numbers they did."

I wonder, how did it get there? Why did IBM represent DEL a

Building the System/360 Mainframe Nearly Destroyed IBM
—IEEE Spectrum
｢ At IBM, nobody seemed satisfied with progress on the new system. Engineering, manufacturing, sales, and corporate staff were in many cases working 100-hour weeks. Engineers moved cots into their offices. When Watson stopped in to see how programming was going, an engineer yelled at him to get out so he could work. The chairman of IBM beat a hasty retreat ｣
