French spy agency ditches Palantir France’s domestic spy agency, the DGSI, will replace Palantir software with a French alternative developed by ChapsVision. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced the decision, but Palantir states its current contract is valid until 2028. This change is part of a broader EU effort towards ‘digital sovereignty’ and reflects concerns about US tech influence.
