"NHS England will announce today that it is handing the £480m contract to operate the new software to the US spy tech firm Palantir, sparking a backlash over privacy and its “murky” past"
Peter Thiel's Palantir is the worst company the NHS has got into bed with, especially as the NHS now proposes to deny the chance for patients to opt out of the NHS sharing their personal medical records.
The UK entrenches its surveillance state. #NHS#Palantir#DataProtection#Privacy
The #DataGrabBill will let medical data be exploited for 'research purposes'.
Ministers will also have powers to authorise international data transfers without needing to have concern about whether patient's data will have effective protections overseas.
The reported award of the contract for the NHS Federated Data Platform to the controversial spy-tech firm #Palantir is especially troubling in this light.
Now I am looking for an answer to another question: Is it still the case that #Palantir employees are involved in the #RustLang organization?
“With that behaviour, it should come as no surprise how the core team responded to members’ complaints about the continued involvement of Palantir employees in the Rust-lang organisation. The core team repeatedly dismissed and maligned several members concerns about the involvement of a company so heavily involved with producing spyware. This came to head for me in 2020 in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. The gall to publicly declare that Black Lives Matter as part of the release, while privately continuing to collaborate with the companies that provide the software that spies and suppresses those same lives and activists, is an unacceptable hypocrisy that undermines the actual work of members in the organisation to provide a space for those people.”
Große Koalition in Hessen will Vorratsdatenspeicherung und Gesichtserkennung
Statt mit den Grünen will Hessens Ministerpräsident Boris Rhein (CDU) mit der SPD regieren und ein Überwachungspaket mit Staatstrojanern und Palantir schnüren.
»2019 brachte die SPD in der Opposition noch massive Zweifel an der Rechtmäßigkeit der Beschaffung und am Funktionsumfang von Hessendata vor. Festschreiben will Schwarz-Rot ferner etwa, dass in Behörden, Schulen und im Rundfunk "auf das Gendern mit Sonderzeichen verzichtet wird"«
Mehr Sicherheit durch Verfassungswiedrigkeit? Das ist doch einfach Kriminell aber von der lokalen Regierung selber. Die Verfassung ändern, los geht der $çh31$$.
»Bayern will Palantir durchdrücken – trotz Verfassungswidrigkeit:
Die neu gewählte Regierung des Bundeslandes Bayern will Rechtsgrundlagen schaffen, um die teilweise verbotene Analyse-Software Palantir einsetzen zu können.«
Be afraid, be very afraid. Palantir is the last company you want leading AI because they will be the company that neo-fascists hire to spy on your every message sent, every dollar spent, and every movement made.
Please consider signing this petition from Foxglove, who are fighting the government's efforts to share #UKhealthcare data with #US firm working with US intelligence agencies #Palantir
We've learned that there's a chance that the Health Minister Steve Barclay may be prepared to block a controversial contract with Palantir, that could put a huge trove of patient data in private hands.
Don't let US spy tech Palantir get their hands on our sensitive health data. Resist the proposed NHS Federated Data Platform contract in the UK before it's too late.

“No #Palantir in our NHS”
in Britain, #OpenDemocracy media (represented by #FoxgloveLegal) was ultimately forced to challenge the #UK government via legal channels to obtain a copy of the 1-pound contract between #NHS and #Palantir:
News of the partnership between Gemelli(the #Pope's Hospital) and Palantir arrives in the same weeks that see #Palantir a frontrunner in the bid for a contract worth 480 million pounds with the #NHS:
It comes as a surprise to learn that “#Pope’s hospital”,#Gemelli,is the 1st Italian medical institution to establish a partnership with #Palantir,because Pope Francis has been one of the most vocal among world leaders in calling for an ethical use of #AI
