Palantir whistleblowers: 'They have a complete profile on the whole UK population' — including nuclear weapons agency

Palantir Has a File on Every Person in Britain. Two Insiders Just Confirmed It.

Two senior systems engineers at the UK Ministry of Defence went public with a claim that should terrify every British citizen: Palantir has built "a complete profile on the whole UK population." Through over £670 million in government contracts — including with the UK's nuclear weapons agency — Peter Thiel's surveillance company has assembled a comprehensive dossier on an entire nation.

The Whistleblowers

These aren't disgruntled employees or anonymous sources. Two senior MOD systems engineers — people who worked directly with Palantir's technology inside the British defense establishment — described the company building "a rich picture of our nation." They saw the data. They saw the profiles. They decided to speak.

13 More From the US

Separately, 13 former Palantir employees in the United States signed a whistleblower letter stating that internal guardrails on data use have been violated. The company's own people — on both sides of the Atlantic — are saying the same thing: Palantir has gone too far.

Nuclear Weapons Agency

Among Palantir's UK contracts: the Atomic Weapons Establishment. The company that builds Britain's nuclear arsenal is sharing data with a foreign-owned surveillance firm. The security implications are extraordinary — a US-based company with comprehensive data on Britain's nuclear program and its entire population.

What "Complete Profile" Means

A complete profile means: your health records, your tax records, your criminal history, your travel patterns, your social connections, your financial transactions, your location data, your communications metadata. All of it, in one place, controlled by one company. For every person in the United Kingdom.
