Great so they can all be excluded from health care or sterilised

I was thinking along those lines, but of being excluded from life insurance cover - which is often necessary for having a mortgage

Whoever in government thinks this is a good idea is extraordinarily naïve

Also the insurance companies.
Will GDPR legislation prevent citizens from having to reveal their disease risk to these sharks?

Good question.

It is time there was pushback over Palantir's involvement in the UK government's operations.
This, I suspect, is a breach of the Human Rights Charter.
No wonder they want to leave the ECHR.

Terrifying. And then what?

Exclusion from healthcare/very high premiums when NHS has been privatised. I think prevention rather than cure is a good thing but not this way.
