Meanwhile, the year is 2026 and the entire world slowly realises cooperation with American businesses is not okay. The entire world? Well, not entirely. One small country of indomitable Dutch still holds out against sanity.

It decided to place all inhabitants' tax data on American servers, granting America access to these servers while being locked out themselves.

Of course, there will be a debate to reassure the people the decision is well thought through πŸ™„

@pascaline @mloxton actually, most of the world still is using American technologies and have no viable plans to get rid of them, so the Dutch are not alone, even if they lead in doing the stupid thing.

@blotosmetek

Yes.

But to willingly, while using current knowledge, hand out all tax data about all inhabitants is a bit much πŸ™ This is a new contract, a change. It isn't building on something that was already used and that they are too lazy to replace.
