      >The software in question is a data analysis tool made by Palantir, a US company co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel – an outspoken supporter of US president Donald Trump.

      >It only takes a few seconds to satisfy a police officer’s curiosity: name, age, address, fines, criminal record. In combination with selected cellphones and the contents of scanned social media channels, a comprehensive profile of any person appears in an instant.

      >The GFF’s constitutional complaint against the use of Palantir appears to have strong public support. On **German** [online petition platform Campact](https://www.campact.de/datenschutz/peter-thiel-palantir-polizei-software-stoppen-petition/), an appeal for politicians to stop the use of the software in Germany was signed by more than 264,000 people within a week, as of July 30.

      There needs to be more citizens movements organised to pressure governments against working with this company.

      There should be an EU equivalent, none of this kind of thing should be outsourced.

      >A raging debate in Germany over the use of software from Palantir, a controversial American tech company, is shedding new light onto how deeply dependent European authorities are on the US.

      >But the argument has always been that no homegrown alternative can deliver as much as Palantir’s tools can – which is something that’s nearly impossible to judge from the outside.

      Well time to step it up.

      Whoever took part in these decisions should be driven out of office.

    6. Might be controversial but I think this is part of the big western push for destroying online privacy. I think they’re gearing up to throw Europe into a war while the US attempts to destroy China, that way they eliminate any possible rivals to the USA for the next century.

      This is why all important decisions and public spending has to be done in open, available for scrutinizing and investigation.

      As long as politics and business are done behind closed doors, we will just be pawns in someone else’s game. Even with democratically elected politicians.

      I’m glad Norway is not part of the EU.

      The EU seems very undemocratic.

      From my experience it’s an over promise under deliver situation. Well that is the story of corporate software. Where I work it’s used for some finance type stuff. Can’t even resize the columns but if I add a column which isn’t the default fields, then I can.

      After Zuckerberg and Musk, we bring in Thiel.. 
      Remember Facebook having backdoors? This is on a different level.

      I dont understand how you can have a comically evil company called Palantir. i thought stuff like that was reserved for cartoons

      To be fair Europe continues to dominate in the fields of expensive clothing and fine cheeses.

      They managed three Länder in Germany thus far. Hesse, NRW, Bavaria. BaWü may follow, sadly.

      The company and it’s european lackeys (and/or bribed officials assisting them) likely started local because they suspected it would run afoul of federal courts.

      Sadly, local Police is more or less untouchable by federal authority. Not least thanks to Bavaria pushing expanded powers for its police.

      Federal court took out a provision for automated license plate scanners – and nothing else. Camera drones, facial reg, *preemptive detention without time limit*, warrantless surveillance and wiretaps.

      Seems almost tailor made for Palantir.

      The company needs to be barred, federally. Then europe wide, these people are a danger to Democracy itself. Thiel himself said as much.

      Its shit like this that radicalizes me. I’m not one for violence but goddamn.

      What would be a malicious compliance way to follow if they do start dominating in Europe and logging everything like when I search up what’s 9+10?

      For my entire life I have been an EU believer, I even defended that we should take the next step and make the EU a single country.

      It is incredible how in the last 24 months the EU has managed to convert me into being eurosceptic. I now believe that if there is not a fully redesign of the EU to make it democratic and subject to the citizen will, I am happy with dismantling it.

      It is anathema to me how even the most idiotic of folks at national leadership level would support use of any Thiel-run company integration in any European country. It has to be partially an ignorance issue. Please let that be the reason.

      Have you guys read/watched Lord of the rings?

      Palantir is the magic orb which Sauron (Basically Satan) uses to spy on people and manipulate political leaders.

      Then Sauron uses an army of Arab people to invade from the east…

      Tolkien was not just some average joe, he was one of the top people of Oxford.
