Looks like Palantir may have fallen into the Streisand trap;

in seeking their right to reply (under Swiss media law) via the courts, they have drawn a lot more attention to two articles (based on Freedom of Information requests) that reveal why the Swiss state refused to do a deal with Palantir for some military software; they were worried data would be obtained by the US Govt.

Now a story, originally limited to the Swiss is gaining traction across Europe; oops.

@ChrisMayLA6 good, they need to be exposed as the security breach, genocide enabling monsters that they are. And hopefully get booted off the NHS too.
Edit: added the word “monsters”

@ChrisMayLA6 Love seeing Palantir have to eat a dick, legally speaking.

@ChrisMayLA6 They're in a number of Swiss headquartered companies (e.g. Novartis )so it's interesting to see how this pans out.

@ChrisMayLA6 the real story is the Swiss were not corrupted, whereas the British government gave Palantir a number of sweetheart contracts without even competitive bidding.

In a twist you couldn’t make up if you tried, the head of Palantir UK is Louis Mosley, grandson of Oswald Mosley, founder of the British Union of Fascists.
