I was at an event in London that involved a lot of government people. It came up that Palantir was not a very good company, Someone felt compelled to shout out, oh don't talk about that here, "we like Palantir here". It is certainly the elephant in the room (elephant in cost, and a very difficult situation).

Free software from Palantir is not free. Peter Thiel's co is all about monopolies.

Oh, and don't forget to opt your data out of Palantir: https://your-data-matters.service.nhs.uk/
