Palantir's PR firm must be working overtime figuring out how to deal with this. I don't think their prism is the same as NSA's PRISM, that's too much of a clever coinkidink, but they do make a big deal about selling their software to, working with, and being sponsored by the Intelligence Community and all the good and bad that comes with it.
No amount of cool looking track suit jackets or young upstart moxy can take away from the fundamental nature of who their customers are. This is the moment when they're going to have to grow up as a company and come to terms with what exactly it is that they're doing, and it's not just selling nifty software to good guy spies on our side.
If they got their panties in a bunch over a little dirty work from the US Chamber of Commerce, then to be consistent, they'd pretty much just have to give up their work for this.
