Palantir CEO Alex Karp and legal counsel to the office of the CEO say Silicon Valley has abandoned a long history of working with the government to tackle more pressing national issues.

They say tech leaders gave lip service to high-minded goals but instead focused on photo-sharing apps and chat interfaces.
