    It’s no freaking wonder that the Swiss government was like “yo, maybe pass.”

    Fucking lmao

    Whole article is a very fun read. I was expecting palantir was suing for like defamation or something, but it might actually be dumber than that

    There is also that french privacy advocate Christophe Boutry who got his Qonto account closed because he talked badly about Pallantir and Thiel is a big investor in Qonto.
