Leaked emails reveal that the tech giant Palantir has hired Topham Guerin to pay influencers to attack Good Law Project on social media – but the source of the money is to be kept ‘confidential’.
Emails and a secret briefing document reveal a paid-for campaign to attack Good Law Project on social media. Influencers are asked what their “fee expectations” are for agreeing to send two tweets, one a video and the other a follow-up written tweet. Those who accept the offer – which bears the branding of Topham Guerin – are told they must “keep the brand confidential and not tag Palantir”.
UPDATE: NHS England (NHSE) will investigate whether US data analytics giant Palantir violated the terms of its contract to run the Federated Data Platform (FDP) by launching a covert influencer campaign targeting legal transparency non-profit Good Law Project.
