This is something most people won’t even see, but I was angry, so I looked while my kid was still asleep. Here’s what it looks like when tech bros attack journalists while you and I have too much food over Christmas. Two Swiss journalists spent a year filing 59 #FOIA requests to document Palantir’s 7-year campaign to sell surveillance software to Swiss authorities (army and health services in particular). : https://www.republik.ch/2025/12/09/warum-palantir-zum-risiko-fuer-die-schweiz-wirdThe Swiss army’s internal report concluded they couldn’t rule out US intelligence accessing data through Palantir systems, despite reassurances. Their story hit The Guardian, and #UK MPs are now questioning £825M in Palantir contracts. : https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/dec/22/mps-question-uk-palantir-contracts-security-concerns-investigationThe journalists were rejoicing on LinkedIn. It’s a big deal to have your story picked up by mainstream UK media, especially after a year of hard work.This is where it gets ugly.
