It's an incredibly sad day. Horrifying.
However, I've been a human rights advocate for 20 years. And it is the first time a lot of different usually pro-police sectors of society finally speak up against an operation.
I hope we can mobilize the society to change this situation.+

I'm afraid I'll be useless, but you can check interactions between drug pairs here bnf.nice.org.uk/interactions/ ; another good resource might be ansm.sante.fr/documents/re... but it's a big PDF doc in French

spot on, as usual. Do you think that funding agencies strongly favouring AI-worded bids, while at the same time "demanding" commercial partnerships aren't responsible for this shift?

AFAIU opting out is not an option unless we can opt out of having any record at all with GPs etc. Even if we opt out, Palantir will still have access to data, we can only hope they'll use it legally.
