😖 Rowing back on the decision to block Palantir from the Met Police is the wrong move. Palantir should have no place in the UK's digital systems, whether it’s policing, the NHS or defence. We must completely break our dependency on US tech firms, especially a company powering ICE and war crimes in Gaza. https://novaramedia.com/2026/06/26/sadiq-khan-backtracks-on-blocking-palantir-from-met-contract/ #palantir #metpolice #sadiqkhan #digitalsovereignty #ukpolitics #ukpol

The UK needs to follow governments across Europe that are pursuing digital sovereignty. End the failed model of farming out our critical digital infrastructure to US Big Tech. That means an end to vendor lock-in that rips us off and exposes our systems to foreign interference.

The Met Police have announced a major expansion of facial recognition in London. The use of this flawed and discriminatory tech still lacks oversight, putting our rights on the back foot. We should be able to walk down the street with a full expectation of privacy and not being ID’d at every step. https://www.channel4.com/news/met-police-to-expand-use-of-drones-facial-recognition-and-ai-despite-concerns #facialrecogntion #police #metpolice #privacy #ukpolitics #ukpol

It's right that Palantir, a firm powering ICE and the war in Gaza, is blocked from the Met Police. BUT we must go further. We must ban so-called crime-predicting tools, "which claim to predict who will commit crimes and where. These systems undermine the presumption of innocence." 🗣️ ORG's Sarah Lasoye. https://metro.co.uk/2026/05/28/inside-met-polices-750-million-tech-force-battle-use-ai-28524160/ #precrime #palantir #metpolice #police #AI #predictivepolicing #ukpolitics #ukpol

So... who's surprised? Racism, misogyny, xenophobia, islamophobia in the Met (London Metropolitan Police). It's still upsetting and depressing though. And the sad thing is there are lots of decent police officers and they end up getting tarred with the same brush. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgq06d44jyo #met #metpolice #racism #misogyny #islamophobia #domesticviolence #sexism #sexualviolence #xenophobia
