Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Oct, 13:42 · Archive

More than 44,000 people have formally objected to their health data being handled by the Palantir-powered Federated Data Platform.

More than 44,000 people have formally demanded that NHS England blocks the Federated Data Platform from handling their personal health information. The nationwide platform is operated using artificial intelligence technology from Palantir, a US company.

The objections have been filed amid broader backlash against Palantir's involvement with Israeli military operations and its role in Donald Trump's ICE immigration enforcement activities. TechRadar reports that health workers and campaigners have raised technical concerns and privacy fears about the deal, and that there is growing political pressure to scrap the arrangement before a break clause in 2027.
