At this point any US org or system gathering information on non-cis people might be feeding into Palantir's systems for repression use.

Is Palantir a US government mass surveillance thing? If so, then congrats to whoever named the thing Palantir...

Zurich serves as a hub for US tech company Palantir’s business relations.

Yeah, kinda. They pay taxes here I guess. Thing is, many morally dubious big tech companies have set up shop here (and also the local government annoyingly kinda sucks up to them), but there are more pressing things and Palantir in particular hasn't become a common topic of conversation here.
