Obviously bad but wasn't this a breaking news story from several days ago? What's new?

Wtf there is literally zero upside to this

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?

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.

What could possibly go wrong…

The implication that patient data is being "sent to Palantir" is misleading; the data remains in UK systems, but NHS England (not the wider UK-wide NHS) has granted Palantir contractors "unlimited" admin access to view raw, identifiable patient records directly. This creates a dangerous loophole where external US staff can bypass standard, granular privacy checks simply because obtaining individual permissions was deemed "too inconvenient."

This is a fundamentally poor decision. Granting sweeping administrative privileges to a foreign intelligence-linked firm is a lazy shortcut that prioritises engineering ease over patient safety. By dismantling strict access controls to save time, NHS England has unnecessarily exposed millions of patients to risk, undermining the very principle of knowing exactly who accesses sensitive health data.

Oh yeah this is gonna work out great

Wots all this then?

that's nothing, china has 3 complete volumes of my dick pics

This headline sounds like the start of a decent Bond film.

The article glaringly lacks saying why
