only if they are daft.

the fact that britain spends a lot on intercepting comms, and is lucky enough to sit at a nexus of fibre coming in from the atlantic, does not make a british IT company any more or less trustworthy than any alternate IT vendor in any other country.

every company in any country is subject to the law on facilitating legal inteception:

if we'd like to make the point that users are invariably fools, and that some will be paniscked by snowden headlines into ignoring british tech, no argument, but on an brand-trust scale that is likely more than compensated for by the reputation of british industry.

the russian government, and those materially connected to it, should be concerned.
