New York just kicked Palantir out of its hospitals. We can do the same for the #NHS. Parliament debates Palantir's contract this Wednesday - email your MP and ask them to attend ⬇️ foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/pa…

Email your MP about Mandelson, Palantir, and the dangerous influence of US Big Tech

The Mandelson scandal has lifted the lid on something Foxglove has been warning about for years: the UK government's dangerously cosy relationship with US Big Tech.

We've spent years campaigning to get Palantir out of the #NHS. Now ministers are exploring triggering the break clause in its contract. Palantir is a spytech company with no place handling our health data. Use the break clause - share if you agree! ft.com/content/2d2b1af1-edea…

At @Amnesty, we stand with @Medact and partners in exposing why @PalantirTech is an unacceptable partner for @NHSEngland. The company has a long record of serious human rights concerns, from its role in abuses against migrants in the #USA to supplying AI technologies to the Israeli military and intelligence services implicated in #Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. We call on NHS England, the UK government, and all public institutions to use their leverage: ➡️ Responsibly divest from Palantir ➡️ Stop purchasing its products and services These measures must stay in place until Palantir proves it is not contributing to genocide, apartheid, unlawful occupation, or other violations of international law.

Police tech doesn't predict crime. It predicts policing. Fed on flawed police data, so-called crime-predicting tech automates racism and discrimination against overpoliced communities. The Safety Not Surveillance coalition spread the word. Sign up ➡️ action.openrightsgroup.org/j…
