Spanish government ‘quietly bans’ use of Palantir over national security concerns

The Spanish government is reportedly banning the use of Palantir, a US-based data firm, due to national security concerns. El Confidencial cited board members of public companies stating they have been ordered to avoid contracts with Palantir. The company, owned by Peter Thiel, holds £670m in UK contracts, including with the NHS, and faces accusations of facilitating genocide in Palestine.
