#Palantir is turning the #NHS into a tool for mass #surveillance

NHS England Federated #Data Platform, run by controversial US #military contractor Palantir, gives future #UK government power to use patients’ #healthcare #data against them

- The same thing is being enabled by Palantir into the UK

Palantir is turning the NHS into a tool for mass surveillance

Kicking out Palantir, experts warn, may not solve the problems its Federated Data Platform has created.

On tonight's (May 28, 2026) episode of #BluntYouthRadio, #MaineYouth talk about #Surveillance in #Maine. One takeaway -- that there are more surveillance cameras in areas with #ImmigrantHousing and #LowerIncome folks, rather than the mostly white affluent areas (like #WillardBeach). Not surprising...

"#WMPG’s Blunt Youth Radio Project brings together Maine teenagers to produce audio stories and interviews on topics that matter to them. Finished work is aired on WMPG or made available in podcast format."

... Yes, I'm showing off that I once read a book.
It's getting #Orwellian out here in the webs and '1984' was not written as a guidebook for tech bros with authoritarian ambitions.

"Rubio now full #Orwellian:🚨the total blockade that we've put on your C after decades of an embargo has nothing to do with the scarcity in your lives or the fact: we're🚨intentionally starving your children."
-B Rhodes

SoS Rubio rels a 5-min video speaking in Spanish to the Cuban ppl.

“The reason🚨you're forced to survive 22 hrs/day w/o electricity isn't bc of an oil #blockade by the US...but bc those who control your C have looted $Bs."

@jtb @elduvelle Then websites will be obscured by a stack of several cookie popups which we will have to program into Ublock Origin and then EU regime bans Ublock Origin and then we pronounce the EU regime banned and punish the EU regime by mass consumer boycott (DIY, repairing, recycling, upcycling and secondhand buying instead of new buying to reduce taxes and punish the regime financially)?

Would not surprise me if #Trump and #Xi are cynically dividing the world into spheres of influence behind closed doors, like 1984 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/china-us-summit_n_6a05564fe4b0def65bfbe33b?origin=top-ad-recirc My take here

China's Xi Warns Trump That Differences Over Taiwan Could Lead To Conflict

The pair met for about two hours behind closed doors at the Great Hall of the People after an elaborate welcome ceremony.

‘Dangerous and Shameful’: 42 House #Democrats Help #GOP Send #Trump Spying Bill to Senate

“It was these Democrats’ responsibility to stand up against this administration, and they voted to stand down instead,” said one campaigner.

Jessica Corbett, Apr 29, 2026

Excerpt: " 'The 42 Democratic votes to advance Speaker Johnson and Donald Trump’s #surveillance agenda are dangerous and shameful,' she declared.

" 'These Democrats defied their constituents and common sense to undercut meaningful privacy reforms in the House and instead voted to hand over sweeping spy powers to the Trump administration,' she stressed. 'This means continuing #warrantless backdoor searches and allowing an increasing number of federal agencies to exploit the data broker loophole to supercharge #AI and fuel mass #DomesticSurveillance.' "
