I mean... Palantir showed Denethor false images of doom and despair fed by Sauron. It drove him to become a completely mad tyrant.
I think Palantir is a very apt name. They just don't realise why.
Yup. Just how Sauron was able to see via the Palantiri, the Swiss army have concluded that they can't rule out US intelligence accessing data through Palantir systems, despite reassurances.
American "reassurance" is a "trust me bro" with no backing and no consequences for them if they break it.
