“Palantir Technologies had a secret plan to deepen its relationship with the UK’s National Health Service without public scrutiny.
The US data-analytics company aimed to buy up smaller rivals that already had an existing relationship with the NHS, according to emails and strategy documents seen by Bloomberg. This approach would hopefully allow Palantir to avoid further scrutiny in working with one of the largest depositories of heath data. ”
@aral German police currently gets into scrutiny, because they signed contracts with Palantir. https://houstonjobconnection.ngontinh24.com/article/dammbruch-palantir-gewinnt-den-rahmenvertrag-fuer-data-mining-in-der-deutschen-polizei
@ArneBab I don’t think psychopaths do despair.
@aral Those not, but the honest police officers who actually want to provide safety will be exposed to Palantir, too.
@aral Sometimes the attack vector on your system is a man called Peter Thiel. Every government should mandate that companies such as Palantir can only every use data that complies with k-anonymity, where K is equal to the ratio of the top paid exec of that company and the lowest paid contractor, (or the same within government - which ever is higher.)
