It doesn't mention NHS in the blog post, so I guess it's for a different project. I'm still concerned and disappointed that Palantir is in bed with the NHS.
It's a project to find and manage housing for asylum-seekers.
It's good that Palantir got the boot, but that project is nowhere near as great a threat as Palantir having access to NHS data. It just illustrates the severe need to reform government procurement processes.
Yeah, that knowledge could certainly be beneficial to us privacy freaks. I hope it comes to light at some point, though I'm not holding my breath for that outcome.

"UK Government Ends One Of Palantir's Contracts" would be a more accurate headline

Yeah it links to the contract, it's housing. Still good, but palantir is run by fascists, so they should especially be kept away from healthcare

If the UK is ending one of the agreements with Palantir, you know it's way worse than any of us can even imagine.

Would be good if we could find out why...

Absolutely insane European governments are inviting these lunatics into their country and into critical data systems.

Is there no good news when you live this cynically?

What does this even mean? According to this article, Palantir was selected for this contract in a rushed, no-bid process several years ago

It means Palentir is too expensive and they’re going to continue creating their own oppressive AI based security police state surveillance system.
They just don’t want to share their data with the US government and pay Palantir’s high cost spy system.
