So we've been getting rinsed by Palantir... go figure 🤷

Turns out we're quid's in when we junk them from our digital systems.

Now we just need to replicate this across the UK State, getting rid of all the other Big Tech suppliers that over-charge and under-deliver.

Bring on Digital Sovereignty with open source tech 🌱

UK saves 'millions' of pounds by ditching Palantir for refugee system

The government said its in-house IT system was "more flexible" while meeting "high standards" of security.

Handing out contracts to Big Tech platforms is a rip off.

If we want out, we face the nightmare of vendor lock-in. They own the software, so love it or lose it.

We call for Digital Sovereignty with open source tech. That means we can switch providers without changing systems.

Stop the "Kill Switch": Demand the UK takes back control of our technology.

From the NHS to our energy grid, we are too reliant on US tech. Help us demand digital independence.

@openrightsgroup The home grown NHS system in some of the Nations ismuch cheaper, more reliable and fully integrated. Unlike the English system!

@openrightsgroup I am sure Reform will be totally behind this - reducing the amount of money spent on refugees.

I fully expect Nigel to crawl out from under his rock and say how good he thinks it is.

@openrightsgroup Good. Keep the fascistic palantir crapware away from here. Sadly this is another Mandelson issue - he pushed Starmer and Streeting at the fuckers.

It's not big tech you need to worry about as much as it is your own government. Big tech is just the axe they wield when they chop your head off.
