You don’t say?? /s
If I were POTUS, I would have apologized to them, reprimanded MS, and calmed the market.
>Microsoft shared emails, minutes, and invitations sent by these civil servants without redacting their names in the documents. American tech companies are required to share data with the U.S. government due to the Cloud Act in force in that country.
I see no problem with that whatsoever.
Not a good news day for the Netherlands , eh?

Yet, our government keeps renewing its contracts with Microsoft (and other US services), “because there is no (European) alternative”.
The Dutch government is beyond incompetent when it comes to digital policies. It’s not just embarrassing and incredibly infuriating, it’s also becoming more and more dangerous.
What a surprise.
I mean, that’s not a surprise to anyone right? It’s on the tin when you buy American.
Linux?
“Sharing is caring”
I thought the blokes in the Netherlands were competent, especially with the election of a young progressive PM. But from the recent news about their ID verification company being acquired by Americunt company to this news, seems they are not as competent as they portray it. Anyway, good luck to them.
I am confused, is it that Microsoft shared emails from the invitation sent by those civil servants to Microsoft to the US government ?
Now I would love if those civil servants would take the dutch state to court for allowing their data to be leaked to a foreign government.
No shit, a US corporation serving US interests. What a shocker!
Mild shock, given that Microsoft voluntarily participates in the PRISM mass surveillance program.
Well that’s supporting terrorism.
The EU needs to develop their own IT systems and get off US infrastructure.
What a trustworthy company. Who would’ve thought…
It’s time to switch to Linux but also move away from cloud services that are from ring kissing companies.
once again, and I hate to say it, France is leading the way.
Well, everyone knew this could be a problem, yet here we are
Assholes
Men, it’s just FISA Act…Time to switch!
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702 is a US law enacted in 2008 that authorizes the government to conduct surveillance on non-US persons located outside the United States for foreign intelligence purposes. It allows the NSA, FBI, and CIA to compel American technology companies — like Google, Microsoft, and Meta — to hand over communications of targeted foreign individuals without obtaining individual warrants.

If this was a company from a different country (let a lone one like China) it would have been on the front pages of every publication and an international scandal.
This ain’t good.
Sue them to death!
That’s the price of never questioning the army of Microsofts consultants and it’s lame ecosystem.
and yet the dutch still are consistently atlanticist
