Man I hope the EU is going to wake up to software sovereignty soon.
Stuff is moving in the right direction in some places on the local level, but I would love to see a blanket ban on foreign subscription services for safety critical sectors.
Honestly, ban the use of proprietary software in any public, tax-funded organisation.
No software like Palantir should be used in the EU. No matter if it is open source, European or whatever. This software is meant for total surveillance and that is incompatible with democracy.
I agree but that’s a somewhat different discussion IMO.
Even if Palantir’s software was just a simple interface for a database, the fact that it’s proprietary means that there could be secret backdoors for the US Intelligence community to look at the data. There almost certainly are. That makes it an issue of national security on top of one of personal liberty.
Also used as apropaganda machine too.
The EU should ban all non-European services in its critical infrastructure, not only those from the U.S. Spain’s latest move to contract China’s Huawei for its wiretap system is unacceptable and bears an even greater risk.
There. Fixed it for you.
Europe was naiv and fell for the “good guy” america image. Now the majority of the infrastrukture is dependent on us-software (MS etc).
I’m wondering why they don’t see the risks that comes with the use of palantir.
What if they see the risks?
What if they have accepted the consequences?
Money and wanting to do the same thing as the US is doing right now

It’s funny (not in the haha sense) how such a comically evil sounding company is what makes politicians so horny.
palintir already taken over as the premiere AI for the miltiary, and israeli intelligence, plus its already infiltrating LEO in the states.
OP’s username checks out. The EU must agree with Trump, Musk and Thiel. Otherwise they should have made a public statement about why it is reasonable to move forward.
