No sovereign country should allow Palantir do deals with government agencies, because one can safely assume that any information here finds it's way into the US.

Collecting information for the US is the main purpose of Palantir - which also explains why they have such a heightened intrest in Switzerland. Most of the worlds riches have bank accounts and property here, the US want's as much info as possible on them.
