The US technology company Palantir has lost a legal challenge to force a Swiss independent magazine to publish its responses to articles about how the Swiss government rejected its services.

The data analytics company lost on 22 out of 23 counts of the suit. In a ruling on Friday, Zurich’s commercial court dismissed the majority of counterstatement requests filed by the company and its Swiss subsidiary finding that only a single passage in one article warranted a published response from the company.

    …What a silly lawsuit. Or I should say lawfare, obviously the lawyers involved knew this was not going to fly and that this is financial terrorism.

    So they took the Bob Murray path. Get fucked Palantir. (Also rip bozo to Bob. It’s a shame he outlived many of his workers).
