Palantir has lost a legal bid to force a Swiss magazine to publish its responses to articles detailing how the country’s government repeatedly rejected its services, in a case that has renewed scrutiny of its technology.

In a ruling on Friday, Zurich’s commercial court dismissed 22 of 23 counterstatement requests filed by the US data analytics company and its Swiss subsidiary, finding that only a single passage in one article warranted a published response from the company, which is chaired by Peter Thiel, a co-founder.

The dispute stemmed from two Republik articles that reported how government agencies had declined to adopt the company’s software, and raised concerns about issues including data sovereignty and legal compliance.

The reports, published in December and based mainly on freedom of information requests, examined Palantir’s years-long attempts to secure business with Swiss federal authorities.

The lawsuit has had a “Streisand effect”, drawing wider attention to Republik’s reporting and the Swiss government documents detailing repeated official concerns about adopting Palantir’s technology.

How cool is this...

Die ganze Chemie auf E-Methanol umzustellen würde 17 bis 32 Petawattstunden sauberen Strom kosten.

Im oberen Szenario ist das mehr, als die ganze Welt heute überhaupt erzeugt.

Mein geschätzter Kollege Hanno Böck fordert deswegen eine Kurskorrektur: https://www.cleantech.ing/p/woran-e-methanol-gerade-scheitert

💰 Parteispenden-Info: 50.000 Euro von der Amand GmbH & Co. KG an die #CDU. Die GmbH ist im Bereich Bau, Verkehr und Abfall tätig.

Da dieses Geschäftsfeld in besonderem Maße von kommunalen Vergaben und Entscheidungen abhängt, wäre interessant, an welchen CDU-Verband die Spende ging.

Spenden für Parteien dürfen in Deutschland beliebig hoch sein. Das ist undemokratisch, da so viel Geld zu viel Einfluss werden kann. Jetzt Appell für einen Deckel auf die Parteispenden unterschreiben!

A bit disappointed to see ISRG/LetsEncrypt fall inline with the US's punitive sanctions, now effectively illegal for use by any in the long list of territories the US gov seeks to push down.

That's a lot of people and NGOs doing good work in places that need it, and for whom commercial SSL/TLS certs may be prohibitively expensive.
