The Corona Contracts: Public-Private Partnerships and the Need for Transparency
No Tech For Tyrants, a UK grassroots organisation, is explaining Palantir's involvement with the UK government, including their partnership with the NHS. They explore the concerns public-private partnerships between Palantir and governments raise , and what this means for our rights.
Key findings
- Palantir’s contract with the NHS provides an example of how partnerships between governments and technology businesses can go wrong
- Under pressure from both civil society and parliamentarians, the UK government released some of the documents for its contract with Palantir. The documents raise more questions than answers.
- The bar for justifying contracts that grant private entities potential access over personal data ought to be exceptionally high.
- The UK government must cut ties with businesses that actively facilitate violence against migrants, Black people, and other oppressed communities.
