It basically lets them have direct mind to mind communication, which also allows people (like Sauron) to attempt to dominate the other directly. Even somebody like Denethor who wasn't corrupted was swayed by being showed Sauron's plans and made him deathly paranoid.
This channel makes great videos on LotR and I highly suggest watching it.
Correct, you weren't talking about ownership. Which is what allowed you to wrongly attribute a plural meaning to a singular phrasing(as is the name of the company). And now, you are claiming non-sequitur to a near direct analogy, mirroring your own words. Did I need to mention that other Ford Taurus exist for you to see this?
Aside from being used to communicate long-distance (like phones), Palantir could show visions to people. Sauron corrupted it to only show negative visions of the future to Gondor's king, making him believe that fighting or resisting Sauron's armies are pointless, eventually leading him to depression. He was a great king otherwise.
The Palantir were tools, plural, corrupted by Sauron. They weren't Saruman's -- in fact, they were the vector by which Sauron corrupted him.
This isn't exactly obscure lore. Even the movies touched on it.
You can disagree with Palantir without just making shit up to make them sound more sinister.
The actual lore sounds more sinister.

If you own a Ford Taurus, I do not have to explain to your neighbors that you did not create it.
This isn't exactly obscure knowledge.
You can own a car, without manufacturing a contrarian reply to make yourself sound smarter.
I wasn't talking about ownership, and I couldn't care less how "smart" I sound in this place. I wasn't even disagreeing with the point of your post.
But whatever. Nice non-sequitur.

It's more complex than that.
