The UK must follow the lead of EU countries, including Germany, France, Netherlands and Denmark.
We must pursue strategic investments in open source technologies, so we aren't locked-in to the exclusive product of a single provider.
We can break the risky cycle of dependency and boost innovation.

Our communications, banking, energy, travel and healthcare systems shouldn't be the palm of Trump's hands or any foreign leader.
Open source solutions put the UK in charge of its own future, being able to switch providers without changing systems.

The UK's dependency on Big Tech is a vicious cycle.
In granting them contract after contract, they've amassed power to control markets and lobby government.
This has resulted in halting AI regulation, limiting data protection and blunting competition law.
It makes them stronger and us weaker.

Digital Sovereignty means putting the levers of power in the hands of UK democratic institutions. Making us resilient, independent and secure.
And yet, the government continues along a path of reinforcing dependency on US tech giants, by handing contracts to controversial spyware company Palantir.

The US could leverage power through its corporate dominance of the UK’s critical infrastructure.
After the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israel's Netanyahu, US sanctions led to Microsoft shutting down email, plus electronic and online banking facilities to ICC members.

NEW: ORG's report sets out the need for Digital Sovereignty.
UK national security teeters on our over-reliance on a handful of foreign-owned tech firms, meaning the plug could be pulled on our digital infrastructure.
We need to pursue open source systems that are in our control.

The US has tech powers of sanction, which can be used to stop a company from supplying services.
Our digital infrastructure shouldn't be a bargaining chip, a pawn in a game of brinkmanship, or simply cut off by Trump.
That's the mess we're in by having so many US tech companies behind the wheel.
