"The US is worried because of the Netherlands withholding the overtake of a company that holds SUPER SENSITIVE data on all Dutch citizens

THEY are worried? The whole reason they stopped this deal is because we are worried

The US cannot be trusted, especially with sensitive data

@stux Microsoft proved that recently.

https://nos.nl/artikel/2615391-techbedrijven-deelden-namen-nederlandse-ambtenaren-met-vs-ontzettend-zorgelijk

Techbedrijven deelden namen Nederlandse ambtenaren met VS: 'Ontzettend zorgelijk'

Het gaat om ambtenaren die betrokken zijn bij de handhaving van Europese regels om techplatforms te reguleren. De Amerikaanse overheid ziet die regels als censuur.

@stux The US should have never been trusted. I live in the US and I don't trust the government nor businesses one iota. They are all war criminals and friends of Epstein, or ok with it.

@stux The US passed an act which forces any US company to hand over any data the US state asks for

Any data, no matter where in the world it's located or who it belongs to, if it's on a US server Trump has it

@staringatclouds @stux Yes, the CLOUD Act. It extends to servers owned by US corporations regardless of where the data is actually stored: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act

Trump's billionaire donors are gearing up for a profitable world war

As WW2 demonstrated, never leave critical infrastructure in the hands of despotic regimes like Franco, Mussolini, Stalin, or Hitler

Leaving US tech is a national security matter as critical as a fossil fuel phase out & sovereign financial systems

Why these tech titans joined Trump in Saudi Arabia

A cavalcade of tech leaders was on hand in the Saudi capital for an investment summit presided over by President Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

@Npars01 @stux the US did very well out of WWII. Held the UK its financial hostage for decades after the war.

Agreed. The UK didn't finish paying off its war debts until 2006.

This is what happens when aristocratic elites are permitted to evade taxation.

Debts. Lots of debts.

@stux That it even came up in Dutch heads that this might be a good idea — not necessarily with the US, but that's like doubly egregious, *any* other country, especially outside the EU — continues to deal me flabbergast damage.

@stux in Australia our government is going to give the US super sensitive data that they hold about us citizens to the US. Not even a separation. Not even some private companies fault. Our government under #labor are going to do it.

@stux It depends on how you give them your data. I read about an incident many years ago where a "madam" cheerfully handed over all her customer records, stored on old-style floppy disks - to the police. Along with a very big magnet.
