In essence, yes, but not only that. Palantir and co will really benefit from crackpot dictators financially, especially if they're banning stuff they don't like. The moment some dictator doesn't like Disco music, get ready for getting falsely reported by the Palantir Disco-Stop AI for listening to something similar to Disco, then getting executed while being called a pedophile (the dictator is hyper-obsessed with a case, where a Disco musician had an inappropriate relationship with a minor).
