Is this not about the magazine refusing to publish Palantir’s response to the initial article, which is part of Swiss law? Palantir is shit, but let’s maybe get the headline right.
Palantir’s lawsuit, filed in January, is not seeking damages or making libel claims against Republik, but instead alleges that the company was not given sufficient right to reply under Swiss media law.
Palantir is trying to abuse a Swiss law to intimidate any negative coverage of themselves. This is a SLAPP suit. The headline is just fine, actually.
Switzerland’s right of reply law exists so people can correct factual errors, not so corporations can force publications to run PR copy because they didn’t like the tone of accurate, document-based reporting.
True, but that IS how it will end up being used anyway
