www.lbc.co.uk/article/pala... @foxglovelegal.bsky.social's @dncampbell.bsky.social for @lbc.co.uk on SIT's report on Palantir and the NHS today. "A firm obsessed with dominance like Palantir shouldn’t be at the centre of our state"

💥 New DSIT report has recommended government cancel the NHS contract with Palantir and has said Britain's reliance on Palantir is an "unacceptable point of weakness". More here: news.sky.com/story/palant...

As questions grow over its NHS data deal, Palantir’s recent contract losses in the UK highlight concerns about procurement rules, escalating prices and overstated benefits, writes Martha Dark.

Foxglove's @marthadark.bsky.social on how Palantir lost two UK public contracts in two weeks, not because of "politics over public safety" but value-for-money concerns – plus the way Palantir gets these contacts, a problem warned about back in 2023 and beyond: www.theregister.com/on-prem/2023...

Foxglove, and @the-citizens.bsky.social, warned about this practice four years ago. It's alarming that it's just as popular under Starmer as it was under Johnson: www.foxglove.org.uk/2022/01/19/d... (2/5)

NEW: @foxglovelegal.bsky.social's investigation is published in The Guardian today. Google is hugely misstating the carbon emissions of their UK data centres. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"Tom Hegarty, from tech campaign group Foxglove, told the Daily Mail: 'Facebook content moderators, social media's critical safety workers, have long warned of facing intense workplace surveillance from Meta...Now it seems this intense surveillance is being rolled across Meta's global workforce.'"

Great work from @foxglovelegal.bsky.social — UK government sheepishly forced to increase estimated carbon emissions from data centre usage by... 100 times www.ft.com/content/0c8b...

Great work by @carbonbrief.org forces uk govt to admit its figures on data centre emissions were hopelessly unrealistic. @foxglovelegal.bsky.social had raised this problem with ministers on multiple occasions.

The UK government has finally revised its data centre greenhouse gas impacts upwards by x100 (from a low base!), thanks to @foxglovelegal.bsky.social + @joshgabbatiss.bsky.social @carbonbrief.org www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It's absolutely right gov should explore triggering the break clause in Palantir’s NHS contract. Concerns re: vendor lock in, how Palantir got the huge FDP deal, public benefit & whether their kit works for trusts are not "ideological" but very real. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

NHS staff boycott Palantir’s data platform over ethical concerns. www.ft.com/content/dbb6...

After we @foxglovelegal.bsky.social worked with Carbon Brief to show the government’s data centres emissions projections were a fantasy, government responded by… deleting the projections and replacing them with a note that they are under “routine review”. So much for transparency.

The government is reportedly considering triggering the break clause in Palantir’s NHS data contract. It's a no-brainer - this break clause is an exit ramp and the government should take it.

Ministers are reportedly exploring how to cancel dangerous spy-tech firm Palantir's contract to handle NHS data after over 150k people joined me in calling on them to break the contract. Join us - together we can kick out Palantir out of our NHS: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Big news today as UK Government concedes in data centre court case. “It shouldn’t take us having to drag the Government to court for them to admit their decision to back Big Tech’s polluting data centres was fundamentally wrong," says Foxglove's Rosa Curling: www.foxglove.org.uk/2026/01/22/u...

EC has formally opened an investigation into Google for using publishers’ content without meaningful consent or compensation for its AI Overviews feature. Big win for civil society orgs like @foxglovelegal.bsky.social who’ve been asking for this. ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

Good news: earlier this year, we called on the European Commission to act over Google's theft of independent journalists' work to fuel 'AI Overviews'. Today they announced that they've opened an investigation: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'Rosa Curling, co-executive director of Foxglove - which had called on the Commission in June to tackle the impact of AI Overviews - said "clear & present" dangers to journalism and democracy remain. "We need an urgent opt out for news publishers to stop Google from stealing their reporting today."'

We @foxglovelegal.bsky.social were delighted the European Commission yesterday announced it will investigate Google AI Overviews in response to our complaint. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
