More and more governments are waking up to the need for Digital Sovereignty.

Being on the hook to US tech companies is a critical weakness in the UK's digital infrastructure. We get locked-in and dependent on products that can be used as political leverage.

The UK must urgently follow the EU's lead.

The UK needs a Digital Sovereignty strategy based on Open Source systems, open standards and open hardware.
