Every hospital in England has been urged to disobey an NHS directive to use software operated by controversial US analytics software company Palantir. A coalition of human rights, health and patient organisations, and unions sent out the plea to NHS trusts by email, out of concern over Palantir’s federated data platform (FDP). They urged hospitals to not follow NHS England’s instructions to sign a memorandum of understanding to use the FDP, as set out in planning guidance issued in October.1 This guidance said all trusts should be using FDP “core products” from April, although this, NHS sources indicated, was a policy decision rather than an enforceable instruction. The FDP was created during the covid pandemic with the aim of helping manage a federalised, siloed health service at a time of national crisis. Palantir won the now £1bn contract to supply the service using its Foundry software, a platform that can connect incompatible databases and allows customers to integrate and analyse data from across many different sources.23 In the post-covid NHS this involves monitoring things such as waiting lists, hospital supplies, and available beds and operating theatres.

Once again, age verification is actually identity verification and the the end goal is "papers, please" for the internet.
"Age verification" will do nothing to protect children, but will definitely facilitate mechanized attacks on virtually every facet of life involving identity and security.
This breach includes "...national IDs, full dates of birth, and contact data, which are prime ingredients for identity theft, SIM-swapping, and social-engineering attacks".

Let's stop pretending that Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain Party and Nigel Farage's Reform UK are running different agendas. It is already clear that they co-exist to simultaneously fuel the rightward shift towards fascism in the UK. A week after Lowe's promise to deport hundreds of thousands of people a year, Reform...
The reported arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor as part of an investigation into alleged misconduct in public office is not just another royal scandal. It is a constitutional moment. It forces us to confront a question that Britain has avoided for decades: can an unelected institution, funded by public money, continue...
