Dutch Digital Deal Blocked and Now in Court
Description
Dutch government’s online services arm DigiD is fighting back against a ban blocking its sale to a US cloud company, citing national security fears tied to the US Cloud Act. Despite Solvinity’s claims they don’t store sensitive data, privacy concerns and diplomatic tensions are heating up — including a US ambassador’s warning the move could be seen as a trade barrier. The appeal is now in court, with a July 6 hearing in Rotterdam, and three Dutch privacy groups are officially invited to argue their case. The outcome could reshape how Dutch digital sovereignty is balanced with global tech partnerships.
