Palantir's growing influence in UK government comes under fire
Original: Palantir is worming its way into the British state – it’s time to curb this controversial US company’s influence
Guardian columnist George Monbiot argues the US data analytics firm Palantir has gained too much access to the British state and that its influence should be curbed. He criticises Tom Watson, now linked to the company, who said 'mob rule' must not decide public contracts, pointing to Watson's own new employer as evidence of questionable influence over public services.
Why now: Concerns over Palantir's expanding role in UK public contracts and data services are drawing scrutiny in British media.
