The American Monitoring Company has a contract with the British national health system. What are the risks of delivering millions in the hands of dangerous capitalists?
Benefiting from the urgency presented by PandeMic Covid-19, Plantir, American monitoring and data working with the Ministry of Defense of Israel to the UK National Health System (NHS). Now, the company The British Medical Association attacks (BMA) for their questions in the contract signed with the British state. Palantir has the right to implement the federal data platform “updating” the management of health data in the country.
The Medical Association stated that the partnership “threatens to undermine the public's confidence in NHS data systems”, mainly due to the lack of transparency about the very sensitive data. It cited “the history of the company in establishing discriminatory police programs in the United States” and “its narrow ties with an American government that shows only respect for international law.”
Peter Thil, the owner of the toilet and the joint founder of Paypal, is a unique single, especially in being clear about his goals. He has already claimed that he was “emancipating the wealthy” to exploit the capitalists by workers. “He also defended the apartheid in South Africa, attacks the idea of diversity in American universities, and Donald Trump has been supporting since his first elections and was obsessed with its immortality. With regard to the English health system, whose company is now working, Thil said that the British have a” Stockholm syndrome “with NHS.
It is about that the data system is being built can make NHS completely depend on Palantir by fears of using patient data. Since it is one of the largest public health systems in the world, NHS has a unique health data set. Although these data have huge potential to enhance public services, trusting your management of corporate partners has great risks. For example, it can be explored for purposes such as tracking and criminalizing immigrants-used systematically to harass them in the UK.
“If the Palantir program is used to reach individuals in the application of the Immigration Law and was implemented in active conflict areas, this does not fully correspond to the values that we defend in care,” said David Regley, BMA director.
