Over 44,000 formally object to Palantir NHS data use
More than 44,000 people have formally lodged legal objections to stop their health data being used in the UK NHS's new nationwide data platform run by US company Palantir. Organized protests across the UK, backed by groups like Amnesty International, highlight distrust over Palantir's record and involvement with other governments. NHS England must now justify continued use of this data or comply with the objections.
- Over 44,000 people filed GDPR objections to Palantir's NHS data use
- Petitions and protests held at over 30 UK cities
- Campaigners cite Palantir's ties to US and Israeli government work
- NHS must provide a 'compelling reason' to override data objections
- Two parliamentary committees urge Labour to consider scrapping the deal
