Over 50,000 patients have asked not to have their data placed on the Palantir federated data platform. The government must listen — public trust is essential to the NHS, and it cannot be taken for granted. #Palantir #NHS

Legislators: “fork over your ID to protect kids or you can’t use the internet.” Hackers: “we’ll take it from here.” 1 billion records. 203 million Americans. The age-verification mandate is the vulnerability.

🚨🚨 @FoxNews: 1 BILLION identity records exposed in ID verification data leak — INCLUDING +203 MILLION America records Governments requiring Digital ID w/ "age verification" mandates create MASSIVE security risks The threat is NOT hypothetical. Another unfortunate example:

Yesterday Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote to Hegseth. Not an op-ed. Not a tweet. An official Senate letter with footnotes. Here’s what it says: The DoD banned Anthropic, the model the NSA cleared - for having too many safety guardrails. Then handed classified military system access to Grok. The same Grok that the NSA itself flagged for security concerns “that other models didn’t have.” Hegseth now has to respond on the record. He won’t be able to. Because there is no coherent answer to: why did you ban the safest model and greenlight the most dangerous one? This isn’t the end of the story. This is Warren establishing the evidentiary record. The hearings come next.

When I exposed the CIA torture program, the U.S. government prosecuted me, sent me to federal prison, and hoped I’d disappear when I got out. That’s how it usually works for whistleblowers. Daniel Ellsberg once told me that most whistleblowers are financially ruined and never recover. Even he died broke after changing the course of American history. But I refused to let that be my story. I got out of prison determined to rebuild my life — and now something unexpected is happening. Millions of people are hearing my story. The truth has a funny way of surviving. rumble.com/shorts/v7795bo

Alongside 17 of my @Conservatives colleagues, I have written to the Prime Minister calling for the upcoming King's Speech to include anti-SLAPP measures. SLAPPs - strategic lawsuits against public participation - are used by ultra-wealthy individuals, including oligarchs, to silence their critics through expensive, bogus and damaging lawsuits. They are a grave threat to free speech here in the UK and cost our justice system, and ultimately taxpayers, many millions of pounds The Government, and Keir Starmer, should think again and bring forward robust anti-SLAPP legislation in the coming King’s Speech. Our letter 👇🏻

Proton Mail is great for end-to-end encrypted emails, but as a recent story of an unmasked user highlights, it must comply with Swiss authorities — who may share user data with allies. Read our newsletter to learn about what it can and can’t protect. freedom.press/digisec/blog/p…

Channel 4 did a great job covering and making sense of this complex case on Wednesday evening. Was nice to see that they credited some of my reporting and featured the contracts in their news package. Link to full piece here: channel4.com/news/doctor-co… x.com/i/status/20316…

How did the sponsors of Everton FC's new stadium - prestigious law firm Hill Dickinson, whose name is now recognisable to millions - find themselves an accused party within a high-profile NHS whistleblowing case sparked by ICU deaths and understaffing? 👇 livpost.co.uk/a-doctor-takes…
