Amnesty International and health organization Medact are urging the UK National Health Service (NHS) to terminate its contract with Palantir. The groups cite human rights concerns regarding the company’s Federated Data Platform.
The briefing alleges Palantir disregards international law through its services to the Israeli military. It also highlights the use of Palantir technology in United States migrant operations.
Campaigners are calling on individual NHS Trusts to refuse the software. They further demand that NHS England cancel the agreement entirely. A webinar scheduled for March 16 will present the briefing’s findings to increase public and political pressure.
