Sovereignty on Internet in the Internet age is a nonsense; Internet is not the possession of a government, participating to the Internet at country level (dot uk) is voluntary, if UK wants to get out of Internet as a mesh of interconnected computer networks then it is free to go back to the Dark Ages.
Security is another practical nonsense. You don't need to use Signal to encrypt things, anonymous or encrypted communications existed since the dawn of times and will continue to exist no matter what the governments want to do. Criminals will always be able to use one time pad encryption at will, so raping everyone's rights to communication and privacy in the name of security and sovereignty is just a false pretext.

- AdrianB1 4y agoInternet can exist without a country or more. It cannot exist if all the countries decide to shut down all the infrastructure in their territories, but Internet can thrive without UK, while UK cannot live without Internet, not today.
