Controversy Surrounding Germany’s Adoption of Palantir Software Germany plans to implement Palantir’s surveillance software nationwide for police use, despite concerns over its ties to U.S. intelligence and the company’s co-founder, Peter Thiel, who is known for his anti-democratic views. The software enables extensive data analysis across various police databases, raising constitutional and privacy issues, particularly as it may involve data from 30 million citizens, most of whom are not criminals.The push for Palantir arises as Germany struggles to develop its own software solution due to delays in the Police 20 project, expected to be ready by 2030.
