"The Spanish government has reportedly begun telling state-backed firms to
avoid signing new contacts with US billionaire Peter Thiel’s company.
It comes amid fears that sensitive national security information could be
leaked, according to Spanish publication
El Confidencial.
Board members of several publicly listed companies told the newspaper they have
been ordered to avoid signing any contracts with the data firm that could
jeopardise national sovereignty or strategic information.
Moncloa, Spain’s official government website, has not issued any official
announcement about banning Palantir outright.
But sources told
El Confidencial that public and private companies controlled
by SEPI, the country’s sovereign wealth fund and state-owned industrial holding
company, have been told to blacklist the data firm."
