44,000 file legal objections to Palantir's NHS data platform
Original: More than 44,000 file legal objections to Palantir NHS platform handling their data By Robert Booth UK technology editor
More than 44,000 people in the UK have filed legal objections to the Palantir-run NHS data platform, demanding their health records not be handled by the US technology company. The Guardian reports the campaign is part of a growing backlash against Palantir's work with the Israeli military and its role in Trump administration immigration enforcement.
Why now: Public anger over Palantir's government and military contracts has spilled over into its NHS data role, prompting mass legal opt-outs.
