Kash Patel doesn't expect to win his defamation lawsuits. His goal is to "run up opponents’ legal bills and send a message to journalists that if you cover us critically, it’s going to cost you a lot of time and money.”
In other words, dissent is expensive.

"The US corporation Palantir suffered a significant defeat before the Zurich Commercial Court. In a legal dispute against the online magazine "Republik" and the investigative journalism collective WAV, the company lost on 22 out of 23 points. The court thus largely rejected the demand for a comprehensive retraction. "Republik" published the verdict and previously submitted legal documents on its website on Friday .
The starting point for the written proceedings was a months-long investigative report, jointly conducted by "Republik" and WAV, which was published in December . The journalists were able to trace how the corporation had attempted to acquire Swiss federal agencies as clients over seven years – both through formal channels and behind the scenes. Despite attempts to make oversight at the World Economic Forum, the security policy "Shangri-La Dialogue" in Singapore, and an offer to test services free of charge during the COVID-19 pandemic, no government contract was ever finalized.
Palantir specializes in data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) and counts both companies and governments among its clients. Palantir was co-founded by German-born tech billionaire Peter Thiel, a key supporter of US President Donald Trump. Palantir CEO Alex Karp recently published a "manifesto" containing fascist undertones and a call for greater power for Big Tech corporations."

"Objection’s framing is prosecutorial and binary, asking whether it’s true or false that THR claimed Sackler had used his firm as an “identity makeover” to deflect from his family’s responsibility for the opioid crisis. Yet the article was an inquiry, not a judgment. The reader makes their determination of Sackler’s motivations and obligations, as well as of the story’s credibility. As the old Fox News slogan had it, “We report, you decide.”
When I point this out, Grant-Talbot, ever genial, responds, “It’s great feedback,” adding, “I’m not a journalist, I’m a technologist.” By the time we spoke, Objection had removed its ominous countdown clock from my virtual trial as the company tinkered with its algorithms. “The AI-based reasoning models are easy in comparison to adjudication,” D’Souza said, perhaps already aware that his company might be accused, at least in its beta phase, of outputting slop justice. “What I would say is our goal isn’t perfection. Our goal is to be as good as the [human] court process.”
Objection assigns a human investigator — at the $2,000 price tier, a college graduate; for $10,000, a former CIA or FBI agent — to gather evidence, which is displayed as exhibits. In my case, just about all of it appeared to be extraneous documentation, like incorporation paperwork for Sackler’s firm, which seemed irrelevant to the matter at hand. Then it prompts a group of AI models (including the name-brand ones such as Claude, ChatGPT and Grok) to act as its jury, analyzing the evidence. D’Souza promises that conclusions will be transparent: “We expose all the math that underpins what we do.”
Once Objection issues an adjudication, satisfied clients can pay an extra fee to promote the finding “so it engages with the disinformation as it spreads through social media,” D’Souza says."
