And in perhaps the most complicated set, Sauron manipulates Saruman, corrupting and dominating him through the Palantir, while Saruman at the same time deceives Sauron, pretending to be his faithful servant while still scheming against him.

In short, every time they are used, the Palantir show true things, but do so selectively such that they deceive at least one party using the stones. Which...nevermind. This is a brilliant analogy for a Big Data firm. Palantir: True Information That Always Deceives. Perfect.

I realize that this is not really the point here, but weren’t the Palantiri made by Feanor? It has been a bit since I read the Silmarillion, but I somehow would not exactly call that particular elf “good”...

He really wasn't. Fëanor is a good example of power corrupting.
