@Natasha_Jay Apparently someone realized any US company can be ordered to supply information to any US government agency and be barred from even discussing they received such an order, let alone what information was shared...

@Natasha_Jay it’s clearly in the name of the company.

@Natasha_Jay This is weird because back in December there was still no contract between Palantir and the Swiss authorities, according to the Swiss newspaper Le Temps.

@anselmschueler one needs a contract just to see if it's a good fit pro bono. Both articles say virtually the same thing, that the Swiss military found it to be a very powerful tool, but due to its glaring flaws it would not be pursued beyond testing for a good fit. No contract for purchase pursued, contract for testing cancelled due to being pure poison.

@Natasha_Jay it seems Switzerland has learnt from the Rubikon / Crypto AG scandal…

Here in the UK, after they have been awarded a huge MoD contract to add to their NHS and police contracts, Palantir's ability to access sensitive defence information is a feature, not a bug.
Between Palantir and Oracle and the new age-gating two tier internet, everyone is going to be logged in and spied on all the time.

Does the world #respect the United States, yet?

The article indicates the world does not trust the #USA #Government and many of its internation #corporations.

It's only been one year, but it looks like the US has lost much of the respect we had just 2 years ago. Weird how "elections have consequences," huh?
