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.
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.

Also used as apropaganda machine too.

There. Fixed it for you.
