What happened to Palantir handling NHS data in UK? There was some privacy concern there but it happened anyways. Call me a pessimist and this a rant but it seems like the public doesn't really control what their governments decide to do with their data. The best the tech firms do is issue an apology for infringing on privacy or pay a light fine while they get to keep majority of their profits.

Its not much of a rant. Its taken centuries of hard work for the average person's body to mostly not be the owned property of other people or governments.

The battle's barely been started for self determination and self ownership of our data.
