โ๏ธ Microsoft shared identifying information about Dutch regulators with the US House of Representatives.
๐ณ๐ฑ The officials worked for Dutch agencies enforcing the EU Digital Services Act.
โ๏ธ The case exposes the central problem with American cloud providers: US law can reach European data.
๐จ Dutch officials warned that named civil servants could face travel bans or personal sanctions.
๐ฉ๐ช The Netherlands had already signed a cloud migration deal with German provider STACKIT before the leak became public.
๐ก๏ธ KPN and Thales are also building a sovereign military cloud for the Dutch armed forces.
๐ The deeper pattern is clear: Europe is not leaving American cloud because of theory โ it is leaving because the risk just became visible.
