East Midlands Policing Unit Ends Trial of Palantir Software
What happened
The East Midlands Special Operations Unit (Emsou) has decided not to continue using software from Palantir Technologies after a two-year trial. The unit declined to fund a new contract and requires Palantir to demonstrate that it has deleted all data and cut all links with the force's systems.

Why it matters
The decision represents a loss of potential contract revenue for Palantir Technologies. The US firm has previously stated that its software provides better public services across various UK organizations, including the NHS and the Ministry of Defence.
