The goal is to invest in Open Source tech that strengthens control over our digital infrastructure.

To do this, we must end the secrecy around our dependency on foreign tech firms.

The risk of interference from outside powers was recognised in debates about Huawei.

The same attention hasn't been given to US firms in the new age of geo-political instability.

We can't be left in the dark about these risks.

We have a right to know what the consequences of years of pandering to Big Tech mean for the UK.

The Government must be transparent about the risks and show how it is taking steps to make the UK’s more resilient to foreign interference.”
