But on 22 December, Good Law Project claimed it received leaked emails showing that a PR company called Topham Guerin was planning to discredit them, on behalf of Palantir, which wants that NHS data. Good Law Project believes social media influencers have been asked by Topham Guerin what their 'fee expectation' would be for sending two tweets criticising Good Law Project, while taking care not to mention Topham Guerin or link to Palantir.

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianDanMilmo "Palantir, which draws its name from the powerful crystal balls deployed in JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, is the favourite to win a £360m contract for the NHS's Federated Data Platform (FDP). Covering everything from individual patients' data to vaccination programmes, waiting lists and medical trials, the FDP will aggregate data from multiple sources and different formats on to a single platform. ... The ambitious scope of the platform has alarmed campaign groups, who fear for patient confidentiality, privacy and data security, but the identity of the frontrunner has also caused concern. US-based Palantir was co-founded by Peter Thiel, one of Silicon Valley's few high-profile Donald Trump supporters. The $15.6bn (£12.7bn) company has been criticised for its work with the US immigration agency, as well as its intelligence service and defence contracts. It already works closely with NHS England by providing software that processes data for a variety of purposes including take-up of Covid-19 vaccines and managing the post-pandemic bounce back in elective care (surgery or treatment booked in advance). But the prospect of it setting up an overarching data platform for NHS England has alarmed Foxglove, a UK legal campaign group that focuses on accountability in the technology industry. Foxglove's concerns, and those of similar organisations, centre on two aspects: the safety of patient data, and the nature of the company that will set up the data framework and seek to exploit it. ... The head of Palantir's London office is Louis Mosley, grandson of Oswald Mosley and nephew of the late former president of Formula One's governing body, Max Mosley, who became a privacy campaigner later in life. Speaking to the Sunday Times in 2020, Louis Mosley said Palantir's origins were as a defender of personal privacy. 'Palantir was actually started to guard against government overreach into personal privacy. Much of the software we've built is to prove those kinds of protections.'" https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/jun/21/palantir-concerns-over-data-firm-poised-to-be-operating-system-of-nhs #IRLAuthorJRRTolkien #1954_TheLordOfTheRings #BrandTechNHSFederatedDataPlatformNHSFDP [Wikipedia] #LiteralHealthcare #ToponymAmericaNorthUSCaliforniaNorthernSiliconValley #PhenomnPrivacyConfidentiality #ConditionVirusCOVID19 #AdvocacyUKFoxgloveLegal https://www.foxglove.org.uk/who-we-are/ [pdf] #JournalBritishMedicalJournalBMJ 'A controversial new federated data platform for the NHS in England', BMJ 2023; 383 (Published 29 November 2023).

Context "Appearing on HBO talk show Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday night, Affleck reacted furiously to claims by Maher that Islam manifested as 'the only religion that acts like the mafia' and which would 'fucking kill you if you say the wrong thing, draw the wrong picture or write the wrong book'. Author and philosopher Sam Harris also attracted the Argo director's ire after suggesting: 'We have been sold this meme of Islamophobia, where criticism of the religion gets conflated with bigotry towards Muslims as people. It's intellectually ridiculous.' ... [Affleck] 'Hold on -- are you the person who officially understands the codified doctrine of Islam? It's gross and racist. It's like saying, 'Oh, you shifty Jew!' Your argument is, 'You know, black people, they shoot each other.'' He [Affleck] added: 'How about more than a billion people who aren't fanatical, who don't punch women, who just want to go to school, have some sandwiches, pray five times a day, and don't do any of the things you're saying of all Muslims.
