Episode Details

UK regulators are sounding the alarm over the Financial Conduct Authority’s controversial partnership with Palantir, a US tech giant, fearing it could expose sensitive UK financial data to US intelligence under the Cloud Act. MPs and digital rights advocates warn that even as a data processor, Palantir’s involvement risks undermining UK data sovereignty, especially as Palantir already works with immigration and defense agencies. The FCA insists it maintains full control and encryption, but critics argue legal loopholes and shifting definitions of “control” leave UK citizens vulnerable. Palantir counters that US warrants would require FCA cooperation, making data handover technically impossible — but with political tensions and past controversies, the stakes feel higher than ever.
