UK: Palantir break clause
Cross party committee of MPs has just officially recommended that the government trigger the break clause in #Palantir's #NHS contract. The report states:
⚠️"Palantir’s increasing presence across the public sector represents an unacceptable point of weakness"
⚠️"The government's digital transformation ambitions could be derailed at any time by a decision taken outside our shores based on the narrow interests of a foreign commercial or state actor"
⚠️"Palantir will follow their #commercial self-interests in attempting to burrow so deep into the NHS that they cannot be #migrated away from"
⚠️"Of the small number of technology providers that the UK public sector relies upon, Palantir concerns us most"
