“NHS England’s Federated Data Platform, run primarily by controversial US military contractor Palantir, would give a future UK government the ability to use patients’ healthcare data to unleash unprecedented mass surveillance, experts and technologists have warned”

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.

@GrumpyOldFart The trouble here is that there are two separate things to consider:

1. The NHS storing patient records in a national computer system.

2. That computer system being owned and operated by a US defence company with dubious morals.

Obvs there are possible advantages to (1) in providing efficient health care and reducing mistakes. But there is always the risk that the government will abuse the data, whoever runs it.

Whether we should have (2) is another question entirely.

@GrumpyOldFart @uk_politics @palantirwatch @NoPalantirInSouthYorkshire @NHSrCommunity @nhsactivistrn @UKLabour @ZackPolanski if you wilfully name your corporation after a surveillance device used by the bad guys in a story? Yeah, I'd say you're evil by design.
