Unions and Rights Groups Urge EU Governments to Drop Palantir
Original: 'Not Just Another Tech Company': Unions, Rights Groups Across EU Demand Governments Ditch Palantir
Trade unions and human rights organisations across the European Union are calling on national governments to cut ties with Palantir, the US data analytics firm, arguing it is 'not just another tech company'. The campaign targets public contracts involving the company's surveillance and data-processing services, citing concerns over privacy, civil liberties and the outsourcing of sensitive government work to a foreign military-linked contractor.
Why now: Growing scrutiny of Palantir's government contracts and surveillance technology has mobilised a coordinated cross-European campaign by civil society groups.
