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.

What’s happening in America is technofascism. It could happen here

Peter Thiel's data surveillance company Palantir is powering Trump's ICE operation in the US. Carole Cadwalladr argues that the UK will be next

@schuga @ChrisMayLA6 ‘This company should be nowhere near any UK government department, let alone our NHS and nuclear weapons. We have handed control of the most important and vital instruments of state to what amounts to a hostile foreign power.’ #Palantir

Is Labour in too deep to escape from the takeover by U.S. techno fascists? The fascist cults MAGA and Reform already believe they’ve won. I reckon they are too few and the feedback from their inflation, purges, illegal arrests, assassinations, genocides, ecocide and wars will be a rude awakening. The people of the U.S. and the U.K. will rise up; greedy loser cowards hell bent on trashing Earth will be defeated! #FreedomFromFascists

A Palantir investor call was leaked about a week ago if you want some insight into what they're about from the horse's mouth.

The only question I had walking away is why the CEO was in his underwear, everything else was pretty transparent.
