Wtf there is literally zero upside to this

Not for you. Or the people. But think of the profits!

[–] null@lemmy.org 3 points 18 hours ago

But the investors.

Oh great. And no possible way to opt out of this either, aside from having never used the NHS - which for the average UK citizen is borderline impossible.

Why?

Because New Labour hates British citizens and thinks they're disgusting little worms who are only worthy of contempt.

It would be the same under any government.
They already did stuff like that and gave NHS patient files to USSA companies.
After all, the UK is part of the 5 eyes.
The inner circle of the western imperialist scumbaggery.

Wes Streeting (fucking sell out)

He has no redeeming qualities to me, he doesn't seem to have any empathy, he lacks humanity, he is just a careerist politician who would sell out his own mother to climb the political ladder.

Can citizens who's data was given in an unlimited fashion to Palantir get unlimited access to Palantir funds? So long as we spend some funds to pay legal obligations like salaries we could treat their funds the same way they treat our data, how ever the fuck we want.
