"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 #HumanRights, #health and patient organisations, and #unions sent out the plea to NHS trusts by email, out of concern over Palantir’s federated data platform."

We need interoperable open-source systems, so we're not locked in to services owned and controlled by foreign tech firms.

Stop the "Kill Switch": Demand the UK takes back control of our technology.

This is just one example of ‘think tanks being funded by people with vested interests. In this case it is ‘just' nuclear power. They have become a blight on society, represented by the media (and the BBC in particular) as disinterested experts. They are no such thing - and they are a canker on public debate. See the UK Lawyers for Israel for example = funded by Israel yet purporting to be independent.

"The surveillance took place while the grieving family was seeking to hold the Metropolitan police to account and uncover the truth of why officers had mistaken him for a suicide bomber when they shot him seven times in the head."

"investigation into how Meta Platforms built a multi-channel influence operation to pass age verification laws that shift regulatory burden from social media platforms onto Apple and Google's app stores." A tale of lobbying, astroterfing, and millions of dollars.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

The UK Information Commissioner's Office and Ofcom are pushing for tech companies to strengthen age checks.

It's disastrous that the ICO wants to somehow 'protect children’s data' by compelling 13-18 year olds to use poorly regulated digital identification products that could put their biometric data at risk.
