The authors mention the headline attacks in a side note only. Their paper is about formal verification of the standard. That is indeed something new. Their framework finds a couple of new issues -- and also old ones, which made it to the headline.
I'm maybe wrong, but I would like to share some ideas.
Where does this money is coming from ? I mean, does the whole question isn't a level "above" : why does such entity exists in a democratic gouvernement ? Isn't it showing a deep loophole in the system ?
Same idea : how is this entity funded ? Isn't it with US-citizens's taxes ? So, aren't all US-citizens involved in this story as well ?
Why would Palantir's employees be more involved than all the persons that allowed the money to be there for Palantir to be funded ?
I'm seeing more Palantir as a consequence of a system's failure than its premice.
I would strongly advice anyone interested by the labels frequencies of dataset to get a look at the json file provided.
Interesting thing is not that much the frequency of X or Y labels, but the frequency of one set of labels.
(this would be a great addition on the webpage actually).
Pictures can have multiple labels. And so, having the ratio of "Forum + Drugs + Finance" vs "Market-place + Weapons" dispense more information than just the global frequency of "Finance"-related pages :)
