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.
