Can someone burn it to the ground and bar every single person responsible for these companies in a cell somewhere on the moon so they never witness the blue sky again in their life

Did i read it incorrectly or did they want to force the magazine to publish an article that follows their narrative? If so thats crazy.
Also: Swiss freedom of speech goes BRRRRRRR
Rules in this community restrict me from replying with an image of a wooden construction with a gravity-powered blade.
Please imagine such an assembly for my response.
I love playing hangman, don’t you?
mods i would like to ask a clarification on the rules before i test them, as this has been a respectful community. would an image of a cigar cutter or paper cutter be a violation of the rules even though in my language they are homonyms?
If the Swiss government told this magazine about rejecting Palantir, it seems like Palantir should sue the Swiss government because they are the source of the narrative.
The old Peter Thiel Special
Wonder how many coked up rapists are involved in this story.
Relevant bit so you don’t have to dig in the article like I just did:
Billionaire Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and former Facebook board member, paid $10 million to help finance lawsuits against Gawker Media, including the Bollea lawsuit. The idea had been brought to him by Australian businessman Aron D'Souza. Thiel called his financial support of Bollea's case "one of my greater philanthropic things that I've done."[34][35][36] Gawker had published an article in 2007 outing Thiel as gay.[37][38]
Well, they sued the magazine for not wanting to post their rebuttal, which they are obligated to under Swiss law. I'm not saying it's not a little silly, but they didn't sue them for the article.
Thank you for the correction. While the headline is technically correct, it's misleading in that it connects the suing directly to the published article.
Republik’s managing director Katharina Hemmer said Palantir had wanted the magazine to publish a very lengthy counterstatement to each article. Republik believed the proposed statements did not fairly address or rebut the reporting, she said, adding that the magazine stands by its reporting.
While right of reply actions are a common tool in Switzerland, it is unusual for a large international company to file one against a local media organisation.
Yeah, to hell with Palantir and full support to the publication.
Bundesrecht Art. 28g:
1 Any person whose personality rights are directly affected by a representation of events in periodically appearing media, especially the press, radio or television, shall have a right of reply.
2 There is no right of reply in respect of accurate reports of the public dealings of an authority in which the affected person took part.
I'm not an expert on Swiss law, but I don't see any reason that they'd be entitled to a reply...? Let's hope the courts see it the same way. Bullying small independent media for their factual reporting is just low.
I thought they like being the lighting rod of dispute, so why would they want to rebut the article?
