Why are we constantly seeing Emily Sheffield/David Cameron’s sil on #bbcqt and #politicslive? BBC we see you!!!

submitted 30 days ago • 0 comments

The title is a little flattering(!)… but THIS is why I’m so passionate about the European model of humanity and collaboration. The election of Trump (which happened after we recorded this video) only reinforces what I say here. 👇

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Okay, let’s get down to business. Wes Streeting’s planning a centralised system for our health data & doctors’ notes. That could bring great benefits. But we can’t risk handing them over to a rogue operator like Palantir. Write to him to demand he rules out their involvement: goodlaw.social/ss1q
