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 How unfortunate! (for some)

They'll just use their algorithms to identify and explode another "drug" ship as a distraction and everything will be back on track in a jiffy.

@ChrisMayLA6 The irony of Palantir a company built on 'intelligence' accidentally boosting the exact story they wanted to bury is just perfect. It’s a classic Streisand effect. Honestly, it’s refreshing to see Swiss authorities actually drawing a line at data sovereignty. If they’re worried about US government access, it makes you wonder just how deep those hooks really go. Thanks for sharing this, definitely a 'grab the popcorn' moment for tech policy.

@ChrisMayLA6 Good. Palantir is a corrupting and malignant influence, and Peter Thiel never, never passes up a chance to throw in with Fascists.

@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.
@fazalmajid @ChrisMayLA6 Max Mosley’s son? Nazi costume party Max Mosley?

@humanhorseshoes @ChrisMayLA6 no, his nephew. But yes, the (rotten) apples don't fall far from the Mosley/Mitford tree.

@ChrisMayLA6 Love seeing Palantir have to eat a dick, legally speaking.
@FlashMobOfOne @ChrisMayLA6
May they be doomed to eating bags of rancid dick for eternity -
