Our case covered in the "Guardian" 
️ ️ ️ Guardian is asking: "Why is US tech giant Palantir suing a small Swiss magazine?"
“Palantir repeatedly contacted different government agencies through different means … and tried to repeatedly get a foot into the door,” says Lorenz Naegeli
Many journalists have investigated Palantir, reporting for example on its contracts with the US federal government, or with the US’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, ICE. But Republik and WAV’s work may have struck a nerve.
“It’s the first time [anyone] has published a story about Palantir that has a failure narrative,” says Adrienne Fichter, a tech journalist with Republik. “They didn’t get through and they were not good enough for Switzerland … That’s why they’re going for us, that’s why they’re suing us, they want to fight this narrative.”
Marguerite Meyer says: “I think Palantir doesn’t really mind moral criticism. That has been done heaps. But what our reporting shows is a bit of a failure to sell their products – I believe they really don’t like that.”
‘It does feel like an intimidation campaign’: why is US tech giant Palantir suing a small Swiss magazine?
An investigation by journalists working with Republik magazine may have struck a nerve by suggesting the company has failed in Switzerland
