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.
