Swiss Government Terminates Contract with Palantir Over Security Concerns

The Swiss government has ended its contract with American analytics company Palantir. This decision follows repeated rejections by Swiss federal agencies over a seven-year period, driven by security concerns, including the risk of access by American intelligence services to sensitive data, the potential loss of national sovereignty, and dependence on foreign specialists in crisis situations. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom has signed contracts worth over 800 million pounds with Palantir for systems within the National Health Service and the Ministry of Defence. British MPs are questioning the differences in risk assessment between the two countries.
