"UK Government Ends One Of Palantir's Contracts" would be a more accurate headline

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 67 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It doesn't mention NHS in the blog post, so I guess it's for a different project. I'm still concerned and disappointed that Palantir is in bed with the NHS.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

Yeah it links to the contract, it's housing. Still good, but palantir is run by fascists, so they should especially be kept away from healthcare

If the UK is ending one of the agreements with Palantir, you know it's way worse than any of us can even imagine.

Would be good if we could find out why...

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah, that knowledge could certainly be beneficial to us privacy freaks. I hope it comes to light at some point, though I'm not holding my breath for that outcome.

Goddamn that K looks like an S every time I glance away.

Absolutely insane European governments are inviting these lunatics into their country and into critical data systems.

I struggle reading blog posts, is there a news article about this?
