why not simply make it illegal? why make it a ban specific to one company, are they trying to make their own copy?

Palantir is profoundly untrusted in Europe in part because of Alex Karp. He is viewed as a dangerous neo-nationalist (not incorrectly).
Never really sure why Anduril doesn't catch the same grief; they are maybe even creepier. Perhaps Palmer Luckey is just a less visible obvious Bond villain crackpot.
What is creepy about Anduril? Anduril simply sells weapons. There's nothing mysterious or nefarious about it. European countries want to buy weapons too.
There are European alternatives to Anduril. But there are no European alternatives to Palantir, that's why.
They didn't ban any company, they just ordered public services and public companies not to use what has been classified as a security risk.
Anybody here think that Palantir is not a security risk for Spain?

It boggles the mind a bit, but I’ve seen a few comments on here with people defending them to the tune of “what’s the big deal, they just help governments with their data! They're innocent” which is uh, either aggressively naive, or just paid PR behaviour.

why is THAT your take and not "WTF WHY ARE THOSE CAMERAS LEGAL IN GENERAL?"
they could be attached to non-US-owned-tiktok which is clearly the biggest security threat to have ever existed
