What does "public" mean? Giving the data to Palantir in this day and age practically guarantees the data will be scraped for US 'security' purposes, particularly the ones having to do with immigration and immigrants.
- harvey9 10mo agoThis is not a good faith argument
- yakshaving_jgt 10mo agoCould you add substance here? The egregious corruption in the current US administration is something we are all witnessing in real time. This is not rhetoric.
- tormeh 10mo agoIf you give your data to a Chinese company you make your data available to the Chinese intelligence services. Same with most other countries with geopolitical ambitions. I don't see how this is controversial. This is why you only buy IT services from countries you trust.
- hermitcrab 10mo agoI trust Palantir about the same as I trust the Chinese government with my health data.
- orochimaaru 10mo agoPalantir provides the software but installs in your cloud or hardware. They rarely exfiltrate the data. So you don’t give Palantir anything (usually). Edit: I can understand not wanting to use a non-UK company for NHS health. But Palantir isn’t the all seeing bogeyman it’s made out to be. It’s just knowledge graph and AI models which run in your cloud or hardware.
- sorokod 10mo agoYour caveats of "rarely" and "usually" undermine the "anything" you use. The edit is naive to an extent that makes one wonder if you are writing in good faith.
- orochimaaru 10mo agoIt depends on the contract with palantir. So in reality it depends on how NHS structured the contract and the infrastructure. That's the reason for rarely/usually. I don't work for palantir or own their stock. There is really no reason for me to do anything in bad faith here.
