Vincenzo Iozzo, Joichi Ito, and Pablos Holman have been added to the conference's public ban list. None of them have been charged by US authorities with offences, although documents released by the Department of Justice indicate they were in contact with Jeffrey Epstein.
The conference has not alleged criminal conduct, and the individuals have not been charged.

The Swiss government has ended its contract with American analytics company Palantir, after federal agencies in the country rejected Palantir at least nine times over seven years.Meanwhile, the UK has signed contracts worth over £800 million with Palantir for NHS and Ministry of Defence systems. British MPs are now asking awkward questions about why their due diligence has reached such a different conclusion.
Switzerland chose sovereignty over convenience. They chose not to risk using Palantir.
Other countries should be asking themselves: if Switzerland deemed these risks unacceptable, what are we missing?
What do you think?

- Risk of US intelligence gaining access to sensitive data
- Potential loss of national sovereignty
- Dependence upon foreign specialists in crisis situationsSwiss authorities won't touch their software with a bargepole.

I don't understand how the UK government (and indeed many firms) can continue to maintain a presence on Elon Musk's deepfake porn site (formerly known as Twitter), rather than jumping ship to the likes of Mastodon and Bluesky.I don't understand how the UK government (and indeed many firms) can continue to maintain a presence on Elon Musk's deepfake porn site (formerly known as Twitter), rather than jumping ship to the likes of Mastodon and Bluesky.
Their continued association with X/Twitter isn't just a bad look, it's an endorsement of a site that behaves in a disgusting, degrading way, and has been churning out sexualised images of real-life women and young girls.
Is it just to avoid the wrath of Elon Musk?
