According to an official, the UK does not want new cyber security regulations to apply to internet services.

However, other EU nations are opposing the UK because they want EU cyber security regulations to apply to those who run “digital service platforms” like Amazon as well as those who run vital banking, energy, health, and transportation infrastructure.The point of contention is the Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive’s exact scope. The precise text of the regulations, which are expected to be agreed upon by June and take effect, is still up for discussion among EU member states.According to Rachael Bishop, policy officer at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) on cyber security EU and international policy, the UK government is also considering other NIS Directive recommendations.
