More than 44,000 people have filed legal objections to NHS England’s use of their health data in the Federated Data Platform, The Guardian reports. The platform is operated using Palantir’s AI technology.
Why it mattersThe objectors are calling for NHS England to stop the platform handling their personal information. That is a substantial show of opposition to a national health-data system, though the supplied report excerpt does not say what NHS England will do next. The Guardian’s report gives the number and the nature of the objections; it does not establish their legal outcome.
Discuss: What should matter most here: the scale of the objections, or whether patients can meaningfully control how their data is used?
