Palantir is a government contractor. In this case there's a whole Compliance department that can be involved in audits of hiring practices.

In this case I'd assume based on resumes.

My understanding is that they were Internet Applicants [1]. The wording the DOL used makes it appear that someone just needs to say they meet the basic qualifications (defined in another section on the same page).

What should be concerning is it applies to these 3 jobs specifically. Palantir is offering a lot more jobs than what is indicated in the lawsuit [2] [3]. As another poster has said, could it be a poisoned recruiter? I wonder if that will be considered and if it will affect the AI (adversity impact).
