We didn't need a 22-point manifesto to know what Palantir wants—the evidence has been everywhere.
As Romain put it last week, after disrupting a Palantir event in Amsterdam:
"The UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, lists in her report, ‘From economy of occupation to economy of genocide’, Palantir as one of the companies complicit in the genocide in Gaza.
The American company had collaborated with Israel long before the genocide. In fact, the company's tech experiment does not stop at complicity in genocide; they also dabble in war crimes.
In the early stage of the war in Iran, the US bombed a school with the help of AI. The use of AI in this context could only be done with the infrastructure provided by Palantir. (see the excellent book on AI-powered warfare by Katrina Manson)
I can also talk about Elite, the Palantir App ICE uses to identify neighbourhoods to raid. The objective is not precision. It has never been. In the same way that AI is used in Gaza, it is merely an excuse to target a list of people."

Last night, Statewatch researcher Romain Lanneau (@romainthering ) disrupted an event by US surveillance firm Palantir. They highlighted Palantir's complicty in the genocide in Gaza and involvement with American ICE and military.
And this is the company the UK government wants in the NHS.
