Palantir Gains Control of Britain's Health Data. The NHS is reportedly granting Palantir contractors unlimited access to identifiable patient records through a new Federated Data Platform. This represents a significant shift in how sensitive healthcare information is managed and accessed. Critics warn that centralizing identifiable health data with a private contractor creates substantial risks for government overreach and abuse of power. Palantir, founded with deep ties to U.S. intelligence operations and surveillance systems, now sits at the center of Britain's healthcare infrastructure. Governments historically justify such centralization through promises of efficiency and modernization, yet history shows that once data control exists, safeguards are frequently bypassed during emergencies.
