Does Palantir fall under the Cloud Act[0]?

I wonder why so many governments sign with a company that, even if the contract says they will not leak information to the US government, is required to yield any information to it if the US requests it, without even being able to notify their client—regardless of the location of the servers themselves.

Not just governments, Europol as an European wide police. [0]

Palantir is also likely one of the major lobbyists in pushing for Chat Control to the European Commision.

What evidence is there that Palantir is lobbying for Chat Control? I can't find anything online.

I know you said "probably", but is your speculation based on anything? To me that would be considerably worse than just selling surveillance and investigation software to governments.

Usually these laws exclude military and police work. (Meaning the cloud act does not apply here.)
