By
@GlobalJusticeUK
A respectable bake. You'd come back tomorrow for another.
Summary
This article is a petition and campaign call urging the UK Prime Minister to scrap all public sector contracts with Palantir Technologies. It argues that Palantir's technologies are used to attack the powerless, citing its involvement with Israel's military in Gaza, US immigration enforcement (ICE), and its co-founder Peter Thiel's anti-democratic views. The petition specifically calls out the UK's contracts with Palantir, including those with the NHS, as unacceptable.
