The Guardian | Thousands call on UK ministers to cut ties with US tech giant Palantir by Robert Booth UK technology editor
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
More than 200,000 people have signed two petitions urging UK ministers to end all public contracts with US tech firm Palantir, citing its software’s use by Donald Trump’s ICE immigration enforcement programme and the Israeli military, as well as a controversial £330 million NHS patient‑data deal. The campaign, led by 38 Degrees, also demands the cancellation of the NHS contract and a halt to new deals, while Liberal Democrats and other critics have called for the break‑clause to be triggered. Palantir, which holds about £600 million in UK public‑sector contracts—including a £240 million Ministry of Defence deal and ongoing talks with the Metropolitan Police to use its AI for intelligence analysis—defends its technology as improving NHS operations, speeding cancer diagnoses, keeping Royal Navy ships at sea longer and protecting vulnerable people. The company’s UK chief executive has responded to criticism, often through memes, as the public debate intensifies over the propriety of a firm linked to ICE and the Israeli army handling sensitive UK data.

I can never sign anything from 38degrees - endless "the session has expired" messages despite disabling all ad blockers and accepting cookies. I wonder how many other people are unable to sign #38degrees petitions
Please consider signing this extremely necessary and urgent #petition to stop #Palantir's contracts with and access to UK data.

This is big: Spain, Ireland and the Netherlands have all pulled out of Eurovision, because Israel have been allowed to enter. We need the BBC to do the same to up the pressure on the competition's bosses. Sign the petition calling for a UK boycott now:
