PRESSURE SYSTEMS — LATEST EDITION

Palantir Contracts and Police Stalking Expose Proprietary Governance

July 8, 2026

The integration of Palantir into the UK’s NHS and the misuse of license plate readers by Florida law enforcement demonstrate how public infrastructure is being converted into tools for private surveillance and personal obsession. These incidents, alongside the UK's push for low-cost combat drones, reveal a shift where institutional accountability is bypassed by proprietary software and autonomous military hardware. As tech firms like Palantir use litigation to silence European critics, the boundary between state security and corporate bullying continues to dissolve.
