    How often is section 28g of the civil code of Switzerland invoked?

    It’s still a SLAPP suit. Palantir has massively more PR resources, and if they wished to actually respond to the content of the Republik piece, they could do so.

    What they are doing is trying to send a message to future reporters - report negatively on us, and we will make it very very expensive for you to respond to legal challenges.

    OTOH is a huge self-own. Reporters live to get attacked by giant faceless corporations. No-one outside a small section of the Swiss reading public would have even heard of this story before Palantir decided to go nuclear.
