    USA is no longer a trustworthy ally, but even if they were, Palantir is a for profit company, that might as well side with whoever offer money, over national interests.

    Trusting Palantir or any other trillion dollar company is insane disregarding nationality, EXCEPT!! if it’s within your own jurisdiction, where you can legally control the company.

    For any EU country, that means at a minimum being EU owned companies, where enforcement of EU regulation is possible.

      Trusting trillion dollar companies because they are within your jurisdiction is how the US became the US. A trillion dollar company cannot be legally controlled because it will buy out any controls you attempt to place on it. The only solution is to break the company up into entities of a size that is capable of existing within the law without becoming the law

        It’s almost like crime pays, and capitalism actively rewards and enriches sociopaths and psychopaths…

        That may be true, but companies in EU are way better regulated. And no European companies are nearly as influential as the biggest American companies.
        Companies like Google, Apple, Nvidia, Meta, Palantir etc should be broken up into 10 companies to be comparable to similar European companies.
