    I advise they do nothing at all, ignore the law and see if the UK government actually does anything about it, because I highly suspect that they won’t.

    That’s just the way you have to treat the Tories, pretend they don’t exist.

      Whether or not the corporations agree to this, we need an open-source campaign of disobedience. Keep offering the tools and make them easy to use. The challenge would be getting the software into mass use when most of the public will continue with their backdoored corporate software.

      If the corporations would refuse to obey, that would be helpful, but I’m not confident they will, especially when the USA heads in the same direction.

        I agree, we need more peaceful noncompliance. Simply getting a small but significant percentage of the population to opt out of or ignore unjust systems and unjust laws would be a great starting point to standing in the way of bad policy and infringements on liberty.

        Your point is a strong one, that having the tools available is a great first step, and now greater adoption and use by the general public is required.

        Keep encouraging friends family and acquaintances to take the first steps on a larger journey away from those compromised corporate products and hopefully the needle will continue to move more significantly.
