The NHS is under pressure to adopt Palantir software. Palantir’s founder openly despises the NHS. You can push back – use our tool to see if your local trust is using the software, then send an email to say no to Palantir goodlaw.social/658abc

The government handed an NHS data contract to Palantir – a spy-tech firm with links to war crimes and deportations. We’re demanding that the NHS stops using Palantir’s toxic tech. Find out if your local NHS Trust is using the software and say no to Palantir 👇 goodlaw.social/658abc
