On March 19th, the Dutch House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution urging the government to mitigate its dependency on American cloud service technologies and expedite investments in alternatives within the Netherlands and Europe. This motion, originating from multiple political parties, underscores a growing concern over national digital sovereignty. Specifically, the New Social Covenant Party, a ruling party, highlighted the risks associated with the Dutch government's heavy reliance on a handful of large American companies, particularly in the realm of cloud technology. Consequently, the resolution emphasizes the importance of adopting Dutch or European-based cloud services to diminish reliance on American providers.
