And when you're travelling frequently, convenience takes over.
There I was, my airport Wi-Fi, and now I'm on a hotel network looking for quick connection between meetings.
It all feels routine.
And that, of course, is when I'm most exposed online.
And cyber criminals, they're not stupid.
They move quickly to exploit all these opportunities.
And these online security breaches are rarely one dramatic moment.
It's the small attempts that slip through because they're easy to overlook.
And with Threat Protection Pro, it blocks malicious websites, ads and trackers, and stops phishing attempts before they reach you, giving you real peace of mind online.
Welcome to the Restless Politics Question Time with me, Rory Stewart.
And me, Alastair Campbell.
Well, we've got a lot of really interesting questions this week.
We're going to begin with a conversation about Palantir, under a lot of scrutiny and criticism recently of this enormous American tech company having access to all this data and what does it do with this data.
We're then going to get into the issue of why the Foreign Office has closed its international humanitarian law section.
We're going to talk about mental health, young people, Gen Z, including the question of how people reported the war in Gaza, the language they used, the types of adjectives they used, and the way in which bias can be identified simply almost through sampling statistics of the use of words.
Now, where do you want to start?
Yeah, well, look, the Palantir debate in terms of the public debate
involves a lot of people who feel very, very angry about a US company connected to defense and the CIA getting their hands on British data.
The story is, of course, like a lot of these stories, a little bit more complicated.
What does Palantir actually do?
