French intelligence agency drops far-right AI war firm Palantir (www.thecanary.co)

France’s internal security agency has ended its contract with AI war firm Palantir. Prime minister Sebastian Lecornu said French rival firm ChapVision would work with the General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI) moving forward.

Palantir remains deeply embedded in UK state infrastructure despite the Commons technology select committee calling for the government to divest on 4 June.

The current UK government has cosied up with Palantir despite numerous criticisms. France and Germany have now divested. Keir Starmer must be pressured to follow suit. A genocide-linked death firm should have no foothold whatsoever in the UK. And these European examples demonstrate there is no need to give it one.

Well done, now drop meta and google related. Replace Gmail, Android, Whatsapp, Signal. Need to be done now, in a couple of months. How hard can it be to create an European email and communication service, we already have Proton and Tuta email. We also have European smartphones, and apps. We can be self-sufficient at the end of this year, come on Europe pay properly programmers cause there are plenty talented.
