Germany refuses Palantir for now as its cyber chief draws a red line on data access

Industry access to national databases is deemed inconceivable

Germany’s military says it will not award new contracts to Palantir at this time, citing serious concerns over granting industry staff access to national databases. A senior cyber official told Handelsblatt that such access is currently “inconceivable,” even as Palantir’s AI system is preparing for long-term use by the US Pentagon.
