Good news story!Good news story!
- Switzerland said "no" to Palantir after 7 years of Palantir lobbying
- Journalists FOIA'd and published this
- Now other nations are looking into the extraordinary pressure and whether it might not be prudent to let a USA-aligned corp handle citizens' most private data (medical, tax, residence, assets, etc).
we must have made them very nervous, since lawmakers in Germany and UK are questioning the contracts. It is possible that authorities are hesitating to sign new contracts.

All of this thread https://infosec.exchange/@adfichter/115826298160548686 is encouraging! Now while the story is hot, it is a great time to email your local journos and ask if maybe your municipality, state/dept/province, or nation is being pressured to work with Palantir or other authoritarian-aligned corporations!
