Interestingly Palantir's booming revenue & profits are being driven primarily by US business... the CEO Alex Karp told investors that there is a 'real reticence' among European countries to adopt their technology (except in the UK?) & often countries were keen to develop their own versions of Palantir's tools.
A low-key recognition that Palantir's connections with the Far Right in the USA are not doing so much for their European business?
(time to repost this diagram)
Unfortunately, the German Christian Conservatives are really pushing for this in state governments.
@juergen_hubert @ChrisMayLA6 And the Green Party is letting them do it, because there isn't enoigh European espionage software
This is hardly universal among the Greens.

@juergen_hubert @ChrisMayLA6 personally i think pulling that once is one time too many
@ChrisMayLA6 @Captain_Jack_Sparrow Why did the UK ever touch Palantir with a bargepole?
@annehargreaves @ChrisMayLA6 @Captain_Jack_Sparrow I 'used' palentir previously. Its something which the employees are told 'you have to use this for *reasons*' you then try to use it for the job in which you already did and it doesnt work or is worse. They then send in the consultants to further assess your use case which is just putting data into another format usually they over engineer another solution, worse than the python script you used all along. No one uses it. Its bribes/cronyism
