Neither is underestimating your enemy or making excuses for their behavior.

Indeed. I do neither, which is why I left the UK.
It would be underestimating them indeed to have remained there — I foresaw, even then, that a story equivalent to this very headline would eventually emerge.
And it would also be over-estimating myself to think that I could change them after the Act when I could not change them before the Bill.
As it's not working, QED not "that's it".

They're hurting their own interests in the process. If they were just hurting my interests, I'd agree with you. But this stuff increases the risk to themselves, directly. I may have even told them about https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-0204 given the timing.
