Palantir wants to calculate the 'reoffending risk' of UK prisoners.

The big question is who will use this data, applied for what decision and what does a prisoner do if they disagree?

The new UK #DataBill tries to make automated decisions without human review possible. It's very likely that this tech won't be fit for purpose and will result in discriminatory decisions.

The government is rushing ahead and lowering #dataprotection – a recipe for disaster.
