Read the political agenda of the #Palantir bosses 👇. Allowing this company to run our most critical systems - in health care, police, security - is beyond naive. It is knowingly exposing our society to those who want to destroy it. Our governments are inviting them in.

Tricky. Too political for the Commission and too divisive for the Council.

POLITICO Europe @politico.eu · Dec 30

The EU must respond with "the utmost severity" to the Trump administration’s decision to sanction him and four other European nationals for their work on online content moderation, former European Commissioner Thierry Breton has urged.

Breton says US sanctions against him put EU on an ‘extraordinarily dangerous path’

The EU “cannot show any sign of weakness” in response to the Trump administration’s actions, the ex-commissioner warned.
