Dutch parliament asked the same minister Van Weel if Thiel's Palantir software was used for other purposes too. He said no.
Then independent journalists of [@FTM_eu](https://social.ftm.nl/@FTM_eu ) found documents, and the minister had to admit that Palantir is being used for border checks too, since 2014...
And he's still minister.
