I'm not sure how "only use it if you really want to" counts as a "pledge"

As a lawyer I am a bit confused by this strategy. "Our product is so damn dangerous it might just self-reproduce like a virus and get out of control." You know that you are producing this, so YOU are to blame, right?

Andy Burnham confirms what previous PM's - May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer - failed to, that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.
