🧵 My sense of justice was triggered by #Palantir corporate gaslighting two Swiss investigative journalists on LinkedIn.

This is something most people won’t even see, but I was angry, so I looked while my kid was still asleep.

Here’s what it looks like when tech bros attack journalists while you and I have too much food over Christmas.

Two Swiss journalists spent a year filing 59 #FOIA requests to document Palantir’s 7-year campaign to sell surveillance software to Swiss authorities (army and health services in particular).

The Swiss army’s internal report concluded they couldn’t rule out US intelligence accessing data through Palantir systems, despite reassurances.

Their story hit The Guardian, and #UK MPs are now questioning £825M in Palantir contracts.

The journalists were rejoicing on LinkedIn. It’s a big deal to have your story picked up by mainstream UK media, especially after a year of hard work.

This is where it gets ugly.

Just arrived today, two CDROM #FOIA releases from the FBI, one on the group Masters of Downloading and one on Captain Midnight who hit HBO with a broadcast signal intrusion in 1986.

at the #NexaCenter conf. I said:when the #WarOnTerror had produced atrocities, #JA did NOT waste his time in reforming #FOIA to get #CollateralMurder,he pioneered the #WikiLeaks revolution based on #courage and #technology
We must do the same, because we live in even darker times

a #NexaCenter oggi ho detto:quando #WarOnTerror aveva prodotto feroci atrocità,Julian #Assange non ha perso tempo a riformare #FOIA, ha usato il #coraggio e la #tecnologia per inventare la rivoluzione di #WikiLeaks.
Dobbiamo fare lo stesso, perché situazione oggi ANCORA PIU' GRAVE

My #US #FOIA battle has allowed me to discover, among other things, that the #USStateDepartment alone has at least 140,000 documents on #JA and #WikiLeaks, produced between 2017 and 2022.

My #US #FOIA litigation has not only allowed me to obtain around 3,000 documents on #JA and @wikileaks, but also to understand which ones the government claims are classified under Executive Order 13526.

my #US #FOIA lawyers just notified me that the #US #StateDepartment will release me new documentation on Julian #Assange and #WikiLeaks, thanks to my #US #FOIA litigation
