Say No to Palantir in Europe

A grassroots campaign now demands European institutions reject Palantir's surveillance contracts, a movement that scored 111 points and ignited 21 comments on Hacker News. The campaign frames Palantir's technology as a tool for data colonialism, leveraging public pressure to counter the company's 30% market share in EU law enforcement contracts. Compared to the typical corporate lobbying effort, which often goes unchallenged, this grassroots push has already secured commitments from three smaller municipalities to boycott Palantir.
