Can someone burn it to the ground and bar every single person responsible for these companies in a cell somewhere on the moon so they never witness the blue sky again in their life

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Nonono it's "eat the rich" not "send the rich to the moon". We have to keep the logistics in mind here. I mean, think of the rocket fuel. In this economy no less.
Best we could do would be some form of slingshot. I reckon the g forces would kill them long before they arrive and there would be little more than a small stain left on the moon. Somebody needs to do the math on this. I'll make the logo.
Mulch the rich. They make better fertilizer than food.
Except the bio hacking vitamin nut jobs. Their remains belong in a superfund site.
If we're open to suggestion, I'd love if we could collectively agree to take a few basic human rights from them, and have a reality TV crew follow them 24/7 while they get all their capital seized, and seeing their daily struggle because they don't know any useful skill.
Those that lose all their faux friends and have nowhere to go could go live in the Mansion, where they'd be subjected to humiliating daily games related to all the sins they committed as traitors to humankind.
I would finally be a reality tv fan.
So... prison?
Yuuup, except the amount of pain they inflicted needs a lot of catharsis to process, hence the reality tv angle.
How about shooting them out of a cannon off a very, very tall cliff? Let them be fully aware of their own mortality and impending death as the ground rapidly approaches below.
We need to make books with their names and faces and business relationships. All the ghouls. All of them. They should never sleep another night restfully.
We need to make books with their names and faces
Books in the style of the necromicon?
We could bind them in those that are removed from the book.
There are regular protests outside their main engineering office in Palo Alto.
You're burning the wrong thing. Burn every single person responsible for these companies.
Rules in this community restrict me from replying with an image of a wooden construction with a gravity-powered blade.
Please imagine such an assembly for my response.
mods i would like to ask a clarification on the rules before i test them, as this has been a respectful community. would an image of a cigar cutter or paper cutter be a violation of the rules even though in my language they are homonyms?
I love playing hangman, don’t you?
That's a career path I'd very much enjoy.
Did i read it incorrectly or did they want to force the magazine to publish an article that follows their narrative? If so thats crazy.
Also: Swiss freedom of speech goes BRRRRRRR
If the Swiss government told this magazine about rejecting Palantir, it seems like Palantir should sue the Swiss government because they are the source of the narrative.
Magazine reports shitty company rejected by government
Shitty company attempts to sue magazine for reporting on news
Everyone laughs at shitty company.
🤣 What a motherfucker.
Well, they sued the magazine for not wanting to post their rebuttal, which they are obligated to under Swiss law. I'm not saying it's not a little silly, but they didn't sue them for the article.
Bundesrecht Art. 28g:
1 Any person whose personality rights are directly affected by a representation of events in periodically appearing media, especially the press, radio or television, shall have a right of reply.
2 There is no right of reply in respect of accurate reports of the public dealings of an authority in which the affected person took part.
I'm not an expert on Swiss law, but I don't see any reason that they'd be entitled to a reply...? Let's hope the courts see it the same way. Bullying small independent media for their factual reporting is just low.
Thank you for the correction. While the headline is technically correct, it's misleading in that it connects the suing directly to the published article.
Republik’s managing director Katharina Hemmer said Palantir had wanted the magazine to publish a very lengthy counterstatement to each article. Republik believed the proposed statements did not fairly address or rebut the reporting, she said, adding that the magazine stands by its reporting.
While right of reply actions are a common tool in Switzerland, it is unusual for a large international company to file one against a local media organisation.
Yeah, to hell with Palantir and full support to the publication.
The old Peter Thiel Special
Wonder how many coked up rapists are involved in this story.
Relevant bit so you don’t have to dig in the article like I just did:
Billionaire Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and former Facebook board member, paid $10 million to help finance lawsuits against Gawker Media, including the Bollea lawsuit. The idea had been brought to him by Australian businessman Aron D'Souza. Thiel called his financial support of Bollea's case "one of my greater philanthropic things that I've done."[34][35][36] Gawker had published an article in 2007 outing Thiel as gay.[37][38]
I thought they like being the lighting rod of dispute, so why would they want to rebut the article?
I think it's more like Thiel looking for any reason whatsoever to take down Gawker.
