UK lawmakers question Palantir's NHS deal

British lawmakers are urging the government to terminate a significant £330 million ($445 million) contract with Palantir Technologies for the National Health Service. The Science, Innovation and Technology Committee has expressed concerns, singling out Palantir as a problematic tech provider in public sector digital services. Parliamentarians argue that the UK risks becoming excessively reliant on the US data firm. This scrutiny intensifies the political tension surrounding Palantir, a company known for its controversial data handling practices, particularly concerning its military contracts.
