I believe it would be a positive economic gain for the nation to adopt a light-touch and stop attempting to dictate to tech companies re: that they should avoid implementing “too much” security and privacy by default:
The UK science secretary has warned Britain is “desperately exposed” to cyber-threats and the upheaval of another pandemic, claiming that national resilience suffered “catastrophically” under the previous government.
“When I became secretary of state, within a very short period of time, and I’m talking hours, not multiple days, I became very, very aware that there was a cybersecurity challenge that our country faced that I simply wasn’t aware of before becoming secretary of state,” Kyle said. The threat led him to put forward a request for the new CS&R bill, which had “national security priority”.
