Palantir is known for working closely with intelligence agencies and military organisations around the world, such as the CIA and UK Ministry of Defence.
Hmm…
[Palantir’s billionaire founder and chair, Peter Thiel], a libertarian, told an Oxford Union debate in January that the NHS makes people sick and should be privatised and Britons’ attachment to it showed they were exhibiting “Stockholm syndrome”.

The public needed “assurance that their personal information won’t be harvested by Palantir for purposes that have little to do with their health”, Frankental added. NHS England sought to allay such concerns. It stressed that none of the companies in the winning consortium would be able to access health and care data without its explicit consent; that it would retain control of all data within the platform; and that it would not include GP data. It said the new software would be protected by the highest possible standards of security through the deployment of “privacy enhancing technology”.
Insanely naive. No one with any technical knowledge was involved in that terminology.
Even someone with minimal knowledge would know if the same company in implementing that tech as we are worried about accessing it. Then nope you aint in control. They just let you think you are.
There was a time the NHS hired their own tech team. It was crap ( I know as I was related to one of them. ). But at least they had the knowledge to recogniser what others were doing. The issue was dumb funding not the staff.
Now everything is outsourced. So the folks choosing don’t havee the knowledge to spot bullshit.

Mkay.
Thiel is such a righteous piece of shit
Are the NHS staff behind this lying or just insanely naive? Anyone would think they’d never heard of a back door.
