In this case it's true. Sad, but true. Big Tech likes privacy laws that keep data in their hands and their hands alone. Leaks are bad for business. The UK gov making a terrible law to kill end-to-end encryption is also bad for business. Sad part is, despite the article title, this is not a win, as the law is still being put in place.
