1. El controvertido contrato de Palantir con el NHS.
El núcleo de la preocupación pública reside en el contrato multimillonario otorgado a Palantir para construir y operar la Plataforma de Datos Federada del NHS. Esto le otorga a la compañía acceso a registros de pacientes altamente sensibles, lo que ha generado una fuerte oposición por parte de médicos, grupos de pacientes y defensores de la privacidad.
- Palantir has a contract with the uk govt regarding nhs data! this company has already many flags of concern.
- Yes, palantir has obtained a major, long-term contract with the uk nhs to build and operate its federated data platform. This is fucked.
- The palantir involvement with the uk govt and our data is deeply dangerous. The company & its co-founder, peter thiel, get a lot out of the 330m contract with the nhs but all we get is the risk of our data (and yes patient data belongs to the patient) being misused.
- Our previous government traitors gave palantir a 480m government contract to meddle with our nhs data.
2. Vínculos políticos y la figura de Peter Thiel.
La desconfianza se ve agravada por el cofundador de Palantir, Peter Thiel, un conocido partidario de Donald Trump y figuras de la derecha. Sus críticas públicas hacia el NHS y sus posturas ideológicas, junto con las conexiones pasadas de la empresa con el escándalo de Cambridge Analytica, son citadas como razones fundamentales para oponerse a su participación en la gestión de datos públicos.
- This should be of major concern to every citizen. Palantir is the company owned by peter thiel. The backer of jd vance. His organisation should be nowhere near nhs data!
- Much worse than that, sadly. Palantir is owned by peter theil who was behind the cambridge analytica election rigging scam.
- Palantir is almost uniquely ill-equipped to hold that contract. It was established to help governments conduct law enforcement, warfare and policing. Its founder peter thiel has said he believes the nhs makes people sick.
- In the uk, palantir won contracts worth up to half a billion pounds, including a contract with the national health service to manage patient data. Peter thiel "i no longer believe freedom and democracy are compatible.
3. Riesgos de privacidad, vigilancia y privatización.
Existe un temor generalizado de que los datos del NHS puedan ser utilizados para fines ajenos a la atención médica. Las preocupaciones incluyen la vigilancia masiva, la venta de información a compañías de seguros para evaluar riesgos y la facilitación de una privatización progresiva del sistema de salud, utilizando los datos para crear un modelo basado en el mercado estadounidense.
- The actual issue is that palantir has a long history of working with brutal, authoritarian regimes to violate the human rights of out-groups among the population via surveillance and exploitative datafication. Nhs data is not safe in those hands.
- I suspect the records will be used to assess our insurance risk when the us system replaces the nhs. It is urgent that we act now and stop this random data-sharing.
- Palantir is spytech company that will inevitably misuse patient data by harvesting and tailoring patients data so that us big pharma can target medical supplies for uk patients at exorbitant costs, it is a mechanism to hollow out the nhs and privatise it.
- I think you should consider what would change when you include palantir into the mix. They will control the nhs data and they will control the national id data and they will control lots of other pieces of disparate data all under one ai & tech oligarch control.
4. Expansión a la policía y la defensa del Reino Unido.
La inquietud no se limita al sector salud. Se destaca que Palantir ha asegurado múltiples contratos con el Ministerio de Defensa y diversas fuerzas policiales del Reino Unido. Esta expansión consolida a la empresa como un actor central en la infraestructura de datos del país, aumentando las preocupaciones sobre la centralización de información sensible en manos de una única corporación extranjera.
- Palantir is involved with the nhs, the uk police etc, and this is extremely worrying.
- Ah yes, palantir. The mob with their hooks into nhs, police force and department of defence contracts and data in the uk. Totally trustworthy (don't mention cambridge analytica and brexit).
- Palantir also has government contracts in the uk with both their ministry of defence and national health service, if i'm not mistaken. Seems wildly irresponsible to give that much data access and put that much trust into any single company.
- Palantir has 24 contracts with uk public institutions including the nhs, the ministry of defence, the police force, the cabinet office, and the dluhc.
