People Just Do Something

In this episode, Isaac Kneebone-Hopkins speaks to a former NHS data analyst about Palantir’s growing role in the NHS. We learn why Health Workers For A Free Palestine are campaigning against the software company, its links to military surveillance, and concerns about private-sector control of NHS data and what it could mean for patients. The episode also explores the influence of Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel, the billionaire tech investor whose political views and close ties to defence and intelligence agencies have made him one of Silicon Valley’s most controversial figures.
