As far as I understand it, outside of the US (and maybe UK) Palantir is exceptionally weak, not only in Switzerland. This is a good reminder that american excetionalism stops at... their border.

Here in Europe at least their success is very spotty - many attempts, but most of them failing within a year or two if they get a foothold at all.

The main problem is that most of politicians have no idea what Palantir is doing and those who do have their own ties to local surveillance business and don't want competition.

What about the very real threat to sovereignity of handing all your police data to a foreign country?
