The renewed contract will see Palantir continue to provide the DGSI agency with its “proprietary software platform, as well as the integration, support and assistance services that are necessary for… deployment and operational use,” it said in a statement.
I don’t know how it operates under French law, but governments have been tending to use palantir’s services since it let’s them circumvent the procedure for issuing a warrant since a lot of the laws that require warrants to be procured were written in such a way that assumes that the government would be the only ones able to spy on their citizens, and thus make no provisions against corporations spying on people.
