The UK Government, for all its faults, is pretty good at publishing contracts it has awarded. That's why I get depressed when I see rage-bait nonsense about how companies have been award "Top Secret" deals. Right now you can go to https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk and search for whichever bête noire has you riled up. You might want to argue that the company is corrupt, incompetent, or …

    “UK Government Ends One Of Palantir’s Contracts” would be a more accurate headline

    It doesn’t mention NHS in the blog post, so I guess it’s for a different project. I’m still concerned and disappointed that Palantir is in bed with the NHS.

      Yeah it links to the contract, it’s housing. Still good, but palantir is run by fascists, so they should especially be kept away from healthcare

      What does this even mean? According to this article, Palantir was selected for this contract in a rushed, no-bid process several years ago

        It means Palentir is too expensive and they’re going to continue creating their own oppressive AI based security police state surveillance system.

        They just don’t want to share their data with the US government and pay Palantir’s high cost spy system.
