Is allowing random malicious actors to buy health data worse than allowing NHS's own employees to interact with that data productively?

yes

Palantir may not be random but it's certainly a malicious actor

"certainly" is doing a lot of work here. I'm not "certain".

In fact the people I have spoken to who have worked on Palantir platform were deeply suspicious of their users treating data with respect, and so built security and immutable auditability as foundational tech.

Killing hundreds of children in Iran is certain.

The NHS does it so badly that they brought in Palantir.

... which provides software to help NHS personnel utilize their own data...

Yeah. The data vacuum whose CEO loves to talk about how effectively their software helps the US government kill people is exactly who should have unfettered access to extremely intimate details of many people’s existence, without their permission.

Good data infrastructure can be used for all sorts of things

If anything, the fact the US IC, DOD, NIH, and NHS trust the software with such sensitive and operationally critical data is positive signal

Do you believe these customers don't audit systems/processes that they put their data into?
