Green members of the House of Lords warned that a serious conflict of interest exists due to a peer appointed to Palantir Technologies. The concerns center on the company’s involvement in various public services, including work with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency in the US. These concerns are heightened by allegations from UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese that Palantir has profited from genocide in Gaza.
