It’s no freaking wonder that the Swiss government was like “yo, maybe pass.”

Fucking lmao

Whole article is a very fun read. I was expecting palantir was suing for like defamation or something, but it might actually be dumber than that

I read because of your comment, it was a really fun read. A bit cringe on the "we're white collar thugs and we will bully you until you do as we say", but it's hilarious how it failed spectacularly for multiple reasons.

The European Federation of Journalists has called this exactly what it is: a SLAPP suit—a strategic lawsuit against public participation, designed to use the weight and cost of litigation to intimidate and punish journalists for doing their jobs.

The EU member states take note.

There is also that french privacy advocate Christophe Boutry who got his Qonto account closed because he talked badly about Pallantir and Thiel is a big investor in Qonto.

I was about to say, isn't this the same thing that closed down Gawker? Even if it's accurate, Thiel can flood the courts with paperwork and effectively commit paper terrorism on the company to draw proceedings out and eventually bankrupt them on legal fees alone.
