E029: Why Health Workers For A Free Palestine are campaigning against Palantir

In this episode, Isaac Kneebone-Hopkins speaks to a former NHS data analyst about Palantir’s growing role in the NHS. We learn why Health Workers For A Free Palestine are campaigning against the software company, its links to military surveillance, and concerns about private-sector control of NHS data and what it could mean for patients. The episode also explores the influence of Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel, the billionaire tech investor whose political views and close ties to defence and intelligence agencies have made him one of Silicon Valley’s most controversial figures. Health Workers 4 Palestine: https://linktr.ee/hw4fp.uk Med Act toolkit: www.medact.org/2024/resources/toolkits/no-palantir-in-the-nhs-campaign-toolkit/ The Bristol Cable is one of the UK’s only independent, investigative local papers.
