This article is about the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, which aims to increase the security of critical assets, and to strengthen breach reporting requirements.

It's puzzling to hear those steps described as "authoritarian." What makes you feel that way?

There’s a definite trend in many HN threads talking about the UK in the last few months that’s trying to push my narrative.
