    they haven’t actively and personally killed people

    “just following orders” … “they’re just customers, its not our business to judge”… “bottom line is the bottom line” … “I’m just a clerk, they’ll do it whether I’m processing the paperwork or someone else does” … “I’m sure that if we didn’t provide the software that enables ICE to target and tear apart families in a clear and flagrant breach of the American constitution, someone else would, so really it doesn’t make any difference if it’s us profiting from illegal detention and mistreatment or someone else” … “Israel are our allies and it’s good that American companies have international contracts”

    Plus you absolutely do not want the entireity of the whole nation’s health data provided (not just free of charge but for negative cash) to a company with such disregard for privacy that I’ll be not just surprised but shocked if they don’t sell it en masse to insurance companies and anyone with deep enough pockets for it to be worth their while. And they’re using it with AI as part of the contract. Guess who’s going to be selling healthcare AI based off a whole population’s data provided to them at negative cost? Guess, go on.

    No, Palantir is an evil, evil, evil company, the IT suppliers to fascists and it’s naive in the extreme for you to excuse all this because they don’t get their hands dirty on actual physical immigrants and someone else pulls the trigger based on their targeting data in Gaza.

    They are ideologically opposed to the NHS and it’s utterly braindead stupid to hand over control of the NHS systems to people who want to destroy it.
