@blog Highly recommend #BrettScott's exceptional piece on this:

If you're in the UK, your #NHS medical data is due to be shared with #PeterThiel's military surveillance firm #Palantir.
Fyi, Palantir have already been using their access to US medical records to target people for #ICE, and #ReformUK have published their plans for ICE UK...
In case you — like me — object to this in the strongest of terms, the @goodlawproject have put together this handy tool to check your local NHS Trust's position, and to say no to this.
NHS England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir - fight back
No to Palantir (notopalantir.goodlawproject.org)
