"Almost a quarter of a million people have said loud and clear: they don't want a company like Palantir, whose technology is used by ICE and the Israeli army, to have access to their most sensitive data."
"The government need to act fast and trigger the break clause on these lucrative contracts now."
"Palantir has £600 million worth of contracts with UK public bodies and may soon extend that, with talks continuing with Scotland Yard to use the company's AI technology to automate intelligence analysis for criminal investigations."
Over 200,000 individuals have petitioned for the UK government to end contracts with Palantir due to concerns about its involvement with the NHS, police, and military. Two petitions have garnered 229,000 signatures, one targeting the cancellation of a £330 million NHS contract. The Metropolitan police is considering using Palantir's AI for intelligence analysis. Critics, including the Liberal Democrats and campaigners, argue against Palantir's access to sensitive data, citing its associations with ICE and the Israeli military. Calls for immediate action to terminate contracts are growing.
