This is a thumping win for the campaign against the data grab – but it’s not over yet.
We’ve filed the first ever lawsuit challenging ‘government by WhatsApp’, along with our partners, the Citizens.
We do the government’s job and explain it for you.
We’ve teamed up with over 50 healthcare, human rights, anti-racist and anti-privatisation organisations to call for an end to US spy tech firm Palantir’s involvement in the NHS.
Boris Johnson and his senior ministers may be using disappearing message apps like WhatsApp and Signal to carry out government business. This is unlawful and a serious threat to our ability to hold them to account.

Foxglove and openDemocracy are fighting for your right to a say about data deals between the NHS and Big Tech.
