Palantir Technologies, the US provider of analytics software, finds itself directly affected by two reports from the Swiss online magazine "Republik". According to this, Palantir repeatedly sought contact with Swiss authorities – and found it. For Palantir, the "Republik" reporting came at an inopportune time. As a US company, Palantir is subject to US law, which increasingly questions international cooperation in security matters – this is unlikely to be conducive to sales for Palantir. For the Swiss online magazine, however, the effect is noticeable and measurable.
