 Good morning! Here's the technology news you need to know this Monday. 1. Secretive data-mining startup Palantir is buying $225 million of stock back from its employees at $7.40 per share, reports BuzzFeed. Palantir last raised $880 million in December 2015, at a valuation around $20 billion. 2. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff responded to questions about a Microsoft takeover bid. He didn't give a definitive answer either way but the phrasing he used suggests he isn't ruling out an acquisition. 3. Edward Snowden has called for a complete overhaul of US whistleblower protections. It comes after a new source from deep inside the Pentagon came forward with a startling account of how the system became a "trap" for those seeking to expose wrongdoing. 4. Tech companies could abandon the UK if it leaves the European Union, digital economy minister Ed Vaizey has warned. His comments were made at the Salesforce World Tour conference in London, England. 5. Apple CEO Tim Cook met Indian Prime Minister Modi while on a trip to Asia. He laid out his company's plans for the vast Indian market in a meeting on Saturday. 6. One of the top Apple followers is worried that the company could turn into BlackBerry.

Salesforce spent roughly $75 million on the three startups it acquired last quarter, according to a regulatory filing. The startups include MetaMind, PredictionIO, and YOUR SL. 8.

The Commission on Informatics and Liberty (CNIL) has deemed that that the EU's "right to be forgotten" policy regarding search engine results should apply globally. 9.
