It's just a bullshit game of political pride at this point. Anti-privacy pundits criticised the UK gov for "caving to the US" after they dropped the previous order so now they're doubling down on trying to take away their citizens privacy in the name of standing up to the US. How brave. Not that the US gov gives a shit about privacy either

They didn’t keel over last time, they decided to remove the ADP feature so that they couldn’t comply with the uk governments request
