@Akshay@eupolicy.social Within the EU the Dutch may well be the most enchanted by the US for some reason, and within Europe only surpassed by the UK (though many others come close). The Dutch digital ID provider was almost taken over by a US company which was only blocked at the very last moment after massive public outcry. The Dutch tax revenue service just went full in on cloud services from Microsoft. The most absurd part of that was the government explicitly acknowledging the risk yet continuing to move forward. This is all in the last year.

@Akshay@eupolicy.social “Microsoft has reportedly shared the names of Dutch civil servants…with the U.S. House of Representatives… The civil servants involved are working on implementing the Digital Services Act (DSA), the European law that forces online platforms to take stricter action against illegal content, online child sex abuse, and disinformation.” —> To enable retaliation, EU leaders please wake up AND BAN MICROSOFT FROM ALL PUBLIC OFFICES, RECOMMEND ALL EU COMPANYS TO DROP USAGE.

@Akshay@eupolicy.social When a tech corporation forms an alliance with an ecocidal Charles Koch, the fascism is inevitable.
