    This alone should be sufficient cause for a revolution — and not from the “Reform” direction either.

    I’m sure this won’t be mismanaged into a horrific scandal down the line. /s

    What does an American defence contractor require access to NHS patient data for exactly

  4. Various_Good_6964 on

    “Anyone external requiring access must have government security clearance and be approved by a member of NHS England staff at director level or above.”

    Quote from an NHS spokesperson… Unsure as to whether that means external to NHS or external to Palantir, hopefully the NHS. Otherwise, this is an absolute disaster waiting to happen. If the staff are appropriately vetted by govt, then it’s potentially not as bad as it sounds and if it helps make the NHS better, we should maybe have a slightly open mind… (Probably an unpopular opinion)

  5. >”Critics warn expanded access could increase the risk of a major data breach”

    It seems like giving Palantir access to detailed user medical data is already a major data breach given their nefarious practices.

  6. It’s amazing how we just have to accept it. No vote, no approval, our data is out of our control. Brilliant

    If you think “who would be stupid enough to do this?”, remember that UK left the EU

    > NHS England will create an “admin” role, granting [Palantir](https://www.palantir.com/uk) staff “unlimited access” to the NDIT and identifiable patient data, the FT added.

    NHS England is granting access to NHS England patient data. The UK is not.

    Get ready to have your loan denied because you told your therapist you’re worried about money.

  11. a £300mill contract signed when the Tories were in control, for anyone wondering

  12. Nice to see the US isn’t the only country voluntarily working with the Evil Empire.

    At least we’ll be going down together, UK.

    I’m absolutely disgusted. We petition against this and this is the response…. The levels of corruption are unreal

    The social contract, the idea that hard work will inevitably lead to a better life for you and your kids, is no longer possible. The sad fact is that all governments, fascist or otherwise, will need to find new ways to keep your sorry ungrateful ass in line.

  15. I legitimately question if we all just collectively lost our sanity at some point because how can it be that no matter where I look we’re making the dumbest choices possible, can we all for just a bit stop killing, exploiting, raping, abusing, bullying, hating and do so many more awful things to each other? It feels so obvious to any normal person so how come that again and again were getting proposals for chat control, this bullshit, new wars, whatever the fuck happened with Epstein etc, all the billionair greed that gets supported like it’s the most normal thing in the world? Where’s the pitchforks and activities from a certain time in Frances history that I probably can’t even mention here without getting a complaint/ban from reddit?

    Yeah, the UK is exactly the paradise that many claim to be while many more, are saying that it’s not.

  17. Wait, what about GDPR? Should we not be implicitly asked for consent or be given the ability to opt out?

    Once in a while I scroll past something and I just think… This headline would be prt of the headline montage in the beginning of a bleak near future sci-fi to explain how absolutely everything went to shit. This is one of those things.

    This extremely worrying isn’t doctors stuff supposed to be private now it’s been given to right wing american fascists?

    Maybe UK politicians should first consider asking who the Antichrist is before they give Peter Thiel a massive bag of money.

    I hate that these evil companies are named after things from LOTR. Tolkien would never.
