> Good, and them get ride of Palantir as a "data manager".

And how do we fight terrorists, CSAM and political opponents without Palantir ?

Your comment may be sarcastic, IDK; but if it is I concur.

Fighting "CSAM" is absurd and ridiculous, and used as a justification for eroding public liberties. So is the fight against "terrorism".

The US government has decided to kill innocent fishermen en masse and labelled its victims "narco-terrorists" as a justification for these crimes.

We absolutely do not need Palantir.

Seems extremely dangerous to be doing those kinds of things with software from someone politically hostile. Perhaps the EU should be weaning itself off that too?

You can make exactly same argument for client (phone) scanning and depreciation of encryption.

By doing police legwork and by prevention work (i.e. offer help to pedophiles, don't go and wreck MENA countries for funsies, but invest in helping the civilian populations).

I don't think Airbus is fighting terrorists, child abuse or political opponents. So what is your point ? Airbus is fighting industrial espionage.
