In 2023, the then-Conservative government awarded Palantir with a £330m contract to “build a new NHS data platform”. The move proved controversial because Palantir is a US spy tech firm and its co-founder Peter Thiel is a prominent Trump donor with links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now, a trove of leaked emails have shone further light on Thiel’s connections.
It’s universally true that having more and better information can improve business and efficiency. (This of course has limits, yes.)
I’m sure they were offering data that would help the agency.
Now the ethics, and creepiness? I’m not commenting on that. Palantir is not ethical. They labor under twisted logic.
And every time we mention their name online, we probally get a demerit in their database.
The liability is obviously not high enough if keeping and sharing this data works out positively. Even if the parties involved weren’t obviously evil, the risk to the people is too high for them to accept the risk with only trivial, speculative improvements.
fuck Palantir
fuck these bots that only just predict, regurgitate and are not intelligent
fuck peter dick eater (he is ashamed of his own desire) thiel
i bet he wanted that Epstein dick deeply
And where we are going, they will have the ability to retaliate
