       Today, I have signed a Citizen's Petition to ban the use of Palantir software in my home country, Denmark.The petition (https://borgerforslag.dk/se-og-stoet-forslag/?Id=FT-22854) reads as follows:1/7The citizens' proposal seeks to abolish the use of Palantir in public institutions in Denmark. Palantir is in use in, among other things, the Danish Police's Pol-Intel.#NoPalantir #AntiFascism

       2/7Palantir is central to the social and political unrest in the US we are seeing these days, where ICE is using it in a big way. The same ICE that goes after people based on, for example, skin color.

       3/7Palantir's ownership group is openly undemocratic and is also part of the current US government's inner circle. Peter Thiel has repeatedly stated that democracy and personal freedom cannot coexist.

       4/7As recently as December 2025, Switzerland rejected Palantir after a major investigation showed that using the system was associated with massive risks, including that it cannot be guaranteed that data will not be leaked.

       5/7The system is also a closed system, making it impossible to conduct internal checks of the system.

       6/7As a citizen, I do not want to support a company like Palantir and I do not want any risk of being compromised by a company like Palantir. Using Palantir is a democratic risk I do not want to take on my behalf.

       7/7Palantir puts a face on a worldwide undemocratic movement - I do not want to support that in any way.
