Switzerland Ends #Palantir Contract Over #Data #Sovereignty Risks - #Cybersecurity #Switzerland’s decision to discontinue the use of Palantir is not a #technology story. - It's a #risk management story. The platform was not rejected because it failed to perform. On the contrary, it delivered advanced data fusion and operational insight. It was rejected because the residual sovereignty risk was considered unacceptable. #security #BigData #insecure #surveillance #SurveillanceCapitalism [1/2]

This case shows the growing dilemma that many countries now face. In a global supply chain economy, the most capable #digital #platforms are rarely national - They are built, operated, updated, and legally #governed elsewhere For #sensitive domains such as #defense, #intelligence, #public #safety, and #critical #infrastructure, this creates a structural tension between performance and control. https://zendata.security/2026/02/14/switzerland-ends-palantir-contract-over-data-sovereignty-risks/ #BigData #privacy #security #corruption #dictators [2/2]

@paka@mastodon.scot Sovereignty - that clarion call of the Brexit shit. I am sure they will all be campaigning to ensure that Palantir have no involvement in the UK then. Oh.
