Palantir was originally funded by the CIA and has been heavily criticised for producing surveillance tech for police forces that allegedly creates “racist feedback loops” and has helped the US government to track and deport undocumented migrants.
Palantir is considered a “strong frontrunner” for a controversial new IT contract worth £480m to build a database that is expected to include all health information currently held by the NHS, including GP and social care records.
Everything about this is just awful and it seems like there's no where near the pushback it should be receiving
The people who were hiding him turned on him for the reward. But there's also the theory the government knew of his whereabouts and pressured the people to turn him to the Americans
No I mean how did they even figure out he was the guy that did it?
They saw a middle eastern name on the registry of people who bought AKs (the gun used in the shooting) in the past year lol
I remember being younger and opening up the news and seeing the same picture over and over again of Corbyn standing in front of some red background holding a large document
I didn't understand any of it at the time. Just that the liberals were accusing him of being a Russian agent or falling for Russian disinformation
The instruction came despite a government pledge, made after openDemocracy sued the Department of Health and Social Care in 2021, to consult the public before agreeing to work with Palantir again.
Haha classic
