  1. There's report just breaking that the Brit govt is set to extend Palantir's contract with NHS by a further 2 years. Petition now:
    38d.gs/ce9g

    As a Morning Star article puts it:
    "huge public opposition to the FDP contract relates to the unethical nature of the company, and lack of trust over data confidentiality.
    It also involves concerns over “poor functioning software,” he added, which is worse than some in-house NHS systems, already resulting in low uptake by hospitals despite “constant misrepresentation of statistics purporting to show benefits.”
    Citing reports this summer by the science, innovation and technology and health and social care committees, Dr Puntis added: “Dependency on Palantir has been identified as a national weakness by select committees that called for re-tendering. Continuing this dependency serves nobody’s interest except Palantir’s."
