“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. ”

German police currently gets into scrutiny, because they signed contracts with Palantir. houstonjobconnection.ngontinh2…

Dammbruch! Palantir gewinnt den Rahmenvertrag für Data Mining in der deutschen Polizei (2022)

Endlich sind sie am Ziel, die Anhänger einer Polizeiarbeit, die Data Mining in Heuhaufen voller zusammengewürfelter Informationen aus diversen Quellen als die Krone moderner Polizeiarbeit ansehen.

Keep in mind that Saruman went crazy because the one who ruled the #Palantir showed him visions of despair.

Those not, but the honest police officers who actually want to provide safety will be exposed to Palantir, too.

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.)

the irony of this post is:

inkl is a news bundling service; it doesn't provide any journalism. All it does in this case is to fetch the original article from Bloomberg.

Their practice per se is a form data farming, the only bright side is it's not as sensitive as health care data.

@kunt Their business model, however, is based on subscriptions. So let’s differentiate that from people farming which is farming the data of human beings. That’s very different to bundling stories from news outlets.

Also, they do write an editorial weekly wrap which I enjoy reading.

I'm glad to see you are defending their business model, and highlight the fact that they do a weekly wrap instead of no journalism at all.

However, the irony was referring to your post, which it contains a link about data harvesting whilst the link itself also harvests data - try rejecting cookie and that link would ends in loop.

I wouldn't have mentioned it if it's a direct link to the source Bloomberg.

@kunt Ah, gotcha! Yeah, I remember they were having all sorts of issues with those links.
