Say no to Palantir in the NHS NHS England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir - fight back

🚨 NHS England is rolling out Palantir software for our health records - handing huge power to a US firm with a track record in surveillance, military technology and human rights abuses.

Email your local Trust and say NO to Palantir in the NHS: notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-tar...

Have to confess that AI has improved my writing: I had picked up a few lazy habits and the fear of sounding like chatbot slop has forced me to smash through all of them.

Oh, it's not hard unless you don't actually believe that about us...so. We know now what she believes.

& we *will* reach a point where the mark of quality is human again. We apparently just have to live through this exhausting shite first. You ARE a great journalist & writer and you WILL find somewhere that that matters & is recognised. Grit teeth, engage spite-based survival mode. 💪

FRIEND working in publishing rn is fucking BLEAK, the CEOs are so in thrall to this dystopian bullshit & I'm tired, tired, TIRED. My condolences for this entire shitty process. Keep your courage up by whatever fucking means necessary, this IS a stupid bubble

Thank you so much! I'd managed to see up to 10 at the time, but now have 11&12 too. Very grateful 🙏🙏

I mean I'm just an editor but if working for publishing companies (none of those mentioned in this thread, different sector) for 15 years has taught me anything, it's that if publishers can pull some embarrassingly cheap and/or exploitative bullshit, they will.

Amnesty? Not sure what they'd actually *do* to help tho :/
Also, probably stupid/paranoid on my part, but if 7S etc publicly state that they *have* remunerated authors properly (hmm...), could that provide 'proof' for arrests on espionage/foreign collusion charges for those authors/translators? :s

motivated for organisations like PEN to take up? Argh :/

the majority of danmei writers have been arrested on charges related to taking money for their writing? (Not saying that's the *real* concern motivating the arrests ofc.) And clearly they did the depressingly familiar tax trick on MXTX. Suspect this may make the cases less clear-cut as politically

Looking at PEN's open cases for China, the charges for the imprisoned writers are "seditious publications", "colluding with foreign forces", "espionage", "inviting subversion of state power", "inciting secession", "separatism", "endangering state security". I'm probably wrong but I think I read that

Ah yep I see, totally fair. It'd be good to know.

intervening for them add fuel to the fire & charges to the list? I don't know the answer. I don't like the optics of doing sod all, but I also want to be damn sure that anything I do won't accidentally make shit worse for people coping with trumped-up charges from an oppressive authoritarian govt.

the writers themselves? Being/writing about queerness draws accusations from the govt of 'dirty' behaviour, heavily laced with the idea that LGBTQ+ people/danmei readers are 'unpatriotic' & poisoned by Western corruption. If someone is already in prison or under investigation, would foreign actors
