And 10's of thousands of Ukrainian dead and wounded, lives and families destroyed, is a small price to pay for American hegemony.

Both sides use propaganda.

> the U.K. government could use existing powers to require that the company meet surveillance capability demands as a condition of making a product or feature available.

> If the government’s demands are not met, the company may have no choice but to abandon the product or feature launch, giving the government essentially a veto power on how companies innovate and improve their products

Well, that's going to attract tech companies to the UK /s

> Don't degrade your product. If it gets worse, chances are I won't buy it, no matter for what price you sell it.

Completely agree: recently I wanted some peppermints, and I noticed the sugar had been replaced by "glucose syrup".

I didn't buy them, and I've done this for other products.

Are companies losing sales, which will make them "degrade their product" more as their revenues decline, which will lose sales, and so-on?

I'm in the UK. Looking at my bill, per kWh electricity is 3x more expensive than gas:

electricity: 30.823p

gas: 9.756p

It's much cheaper to heat my house with gas.

This should get more coverage, as it's a worrying development. The tone of the letter is disturbing.

Surprisingly enough, the mainstream media haven't covered it at all ...
