This should be illegal: Through its contract with HHS, Palantir has gained access to detailed public data sets with info on #COVID19 that they can now use to train/refine their AI — and turn public data into a massive profit-maker for the private company. https://www.thedailybeast.com/fema-tells-states-to-hand-public-health-data-over-to-palantir
WTF?? So Palantir set up a system — which is used by HHS, FEMA, and state agencies to share data on #COVID19 — and then they removed the name “Palantir” from the system and are now using an entirely different “official name” to refer to the same system...?
“HHS Protect was set up specifically for this response effort by Palantir” ... and then Palantir’s name was just removed from the system and changed to another name? For what reason...?
“Right now, there are more questions than answers about the Administration’s response and what safeguards – if any – were put in place to protect privacy and taxpayer funds.”
