The UK government finally gave into demands to release controversial NHS data-sharing deals – which up to this point had been kept secret – after tech justice organisation Foxglove and openDemocracy threatened legal action that was due to kick off today.
On the eve of the lawsuit, the government finally capitulated and offered up contracts for the data-store deal with Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Peter Thiel’s controversial data analysis company Palantir and the Vote Leave-linked company Faculty, which has ties to Dominic Cummings.
