@adulau Oh, I'd forgotten about him. Will try to do so again.

...There's no chance we can explain to the French that Palantir is not their friend and no amount of money will ever change that?

@quinn @adulau nope.

Currently on the sovereignty topic, words of FR administrations are very often contradicted by actions 😞

We know.
The agency that are using it know.
The decisions maker know.
They made the choice anyway.

To be clear: it was already a bad choice in the initial "temporary" contract years ago.

@adulau in good news front only Chinese hackers found the latest backdoors to Cisco products, not these agencies or corporations, so we don't have to fear them at all... right?
