With friends like these... Being overexposed to unpredictable foreign powers is hardly secure. Relying on US tech companies for our digital infrastructure means essential services could be compromised. We need #DigitalSovereignty in the UK Cybersecurity Bill. #CybersecurityBill #cybersecurity #ukpolitics #ukpol
