Palantir is walking in defense

Balnnir, facing an escalation The general scrutiny of its work with the Trump administration has taken an increasing defensive position towards journalists and critics imagined this week, both at the Defense Conference in Washington, DC, and on social media.

On Tuesday, a Paltier employee threatened to contact the police against a wire journalist who was watching software demonstrations in her booth at the AI+exhibition. The conference, hosted by the private competitive studies project, is a research tank founded by the former Google Eric Schmidt company, free and open to the public, including journalists.

Later that day, Balntir had the security of the conference removing at least three other journalists-Jacques Bolson, the intelligence intelligence author, entirely; Max Blumentel, who writes and publishes Grayzone; Polson says Jessica Le Massorier, a correspondent in France 24 – from the Conference Hall. Polson adds that journalists later managed to re -enter the hall.

The move came after Paltier’s spokesperson began to condemn publicly New York Times report Entitled “Trump Clicks Baltayr to collect data on Americans” published on May 30. Wireless I mentioned earlier The alleged government efficiency circle of Elon Musk (DOGE) was building a major database for investigating and following immigrants. Her wire I mentioned The company was helping Doge in the Tax Authority data project, as it cooperated to build “Mega-API”.

Overall criticism of Palantir is unusual, because the company usually does not issue data that belongs to individual news.

Before he was expelled from the Palantir booth, the wire journalist, the author of this article, was taking pictures, videos and notes written during the Palantir Fedstart Partners, which uses the company’s cloud systems to obtain a certificate of government work. The cabin walls had phrases such as “Rekaking The Giant” and “Don’t give up on the ship!” It was printed from the outside. When the correspondent for a short time moved away from the cabin and tried to re -enter, Eliano Yunus, head of strategic participation in Paltier, who said WIRED was not allowed to be there. The correspondent asked the reason, and Yunus repeated himself, adding that if WIRED tries to return, he would contact the police.

After the conference ended, Yunus responded to a photo of the conference published by the reporter x. “Caroline, it’s wonderful to see you in the exhibition yesterday,” he wrote. “I can’t wait to read your coverage of the event.” He did not respond to the WIRED request for comment.

Polson tells WAID that he was, Blumentel, and Massorieh watching illustrations in a Balnnir booth before his expulsion. After Tuesday’s committee with Younis and Engineer Balner Ryan Fox, Bolson says that Le Massorier is close to Yunus near Balnter and asked about the company Work for immigration and enforcement of customs. An employee in the Baltreer climbed between them and claimed that Paltier had asked her to leave “several times”, according to a video of the WIRED, and was taken from the conference hall shortly after.
