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. 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.

@fazalmajid @ChrisMayLA6 I was actively involved in one of those bidding processes against Palantir at NHS, and they lost in almost every measurable way but still got the contract. Not surprised that a company that collects intelligence on everyone and everything was able to get some leverage, but we were disappointed nonetheless. We thought we could make a dent.

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us i mean what country with a thread of dignity would entrust it's national secrets to a fascist mercenary org like that?

@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.’ #Palentir
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. -
