Yes! 🥳
The takeover of the company behind #DigiD (#Solvinity) by the #US firm #Kyndryl has been forbidden by the #Dutch Economic Affairs. This has been done "to protect the public interest" [against US data grab].
Solvinity is a cloud company that stores the data used by DigiD. DigiD provides functionality for Dutch citizens to exchange data with, for example, the #tax authorities, health #insurers and #pension funds.

📢 Is anybody listening? Anyone in the US?? Any POLITICIANS in the US??
"'Millions of voters believe their out-of-pocket #health #insurance costs have become unbearable and something has to change,' Anderson said."
"A memo breaking down the research says that voters 'will reward candidates willing to hold them in check.'"

I hope for the sake of this lads family that suspension mods to #VWPolo had been notified to insurers (its been lowered, I compared it to my own first #car which is a similar model) , and there isn't too much data on the ECU or its difficult to capture as car has sat at bottom of River Nene for a few days (although memory chips can survive this!) as #insurers are *really* going to be digging deep into reducing their liabilities for this #crash, with a dead passenger and other injuries/trauma to the survivors.
Daily Mail managed to doorstep witnesses/survivors and gleaned from them he was not habitually a bad/reckless driver and likely overcorrected steering trying to avoid #potholes - I 100% believe this, knowing what rural roads are like round here!
