palantir, for installation Public cooperation with the Trump administration, this week’s defensive stance on journalists and growing critics, were on a defense conference in Washington, D.C. and on social media.

A Palantir employee threatened to contact a cable reporter on Tuesday, watching a software demonstration at the booth of AI+ Expo. The conference was chaired by a special competition research project founded by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, a think tank that is free to the public, including journalists.

Later that day, Palantir's meeting safely removed at least three other journalists - Jack Poulson, author of the full-source intelligence replacement; Max Blumenthal, wrote and published the Gray Zone. Poulson said that French reporter Jessica Le Masurier, No. 24, started in the conference hall. Poulson added that the reporter was later able to re-enter the hall.

The move comes in a recent New York Times report that Palantir spokesman began publicly condemning, titled "Trump Taps Palantir to compile data from Americans." Wired also reported that the company is helping Doge with its IRS data project and has collaborated to establish the "Mega-Api".

Palantir's public criticism is unusual because the company does not usually make comments to postpone personal news coverage.

Before being kicked out of Palantir’s booth, a cable reporter was also the author of this article, taking photos, videos and written notes in a software demonstration by Palantir FedStart Partners, which uses the company’s cloud system to obtain government job certification. There are phrases like “Refishing the Giant” and “Don’t Give Up the Boat!” on the walls of the stalls! Printed outside. When the reporter briefly left the development position and tried to re-enter, she was stopped by Eliano Younes, head of strategic participation at Palantir, who said that the connection was not allowed to be there. Asked why, Euns repeated himself, adding that if Wade tried to return, he would call the police.

After the meeting, Yoons responded to photos of the meeting posted by the reporter on X. "Hey, Caroline, I met you at the fair yesterday," he wrote. "Can't wait to read your coverage of the event." Palantir did not respond to Wired's request for comment.

Poulson told Wired that he, Blumenthal and Le Masurier were also watching the demo at Palantir's booth before being kicked out. After a Tuesday panel discussion with Younes and Palantir engineer Ryan Fox, Poulson said Le Masurier approached Younes near the booth in Palantir and asked about the company's immigration and customs enforcement efforts. According to an interactive video watched by Wired, a Palantir employee walked between them and claimed that Palantir asked her to leave "multiple times" and that she was escorted out of the conference hall soon after.
