      DigiD is the official secure login system used by Dutch citizens to access government services, healthcare providers and pension funds online. And now an American company will buy it with all data falling in the hands of Americans, giving Washington massive leverage over critical systems. The Dutch government did not oppose the move. It shows once again that states are fundamentally unfit to protect European citizens.

      Jfc. Minister saying that the group isn’t a stakeholder and therefore shouldn’t complain is next level BS. In some way every citizen of the Netherlands is a stakeholder.

      Well. If I was a dutch citizen and this company was handling my personal data and access to government services, then I’d goddamn insist that I was a stakeholder. That a foreign company (based in a country that has repeatedly shown that it does not respect European sovereignty, for example by blocking financial services for ICC court members) has control over strategic infrastructure is insane.

      As Mario Draghi said; a federal Europe can’t come soon enough. We’re paying taxes to governments that cannot protect us.

      As a Dutch citizen, if the company would be bought by Russia or China, all hell would break loose. But USA is perfectly fine… I fucking hate our political landscape. But atleast it could be worse…

      Our government can’t be helped. They’re beyond foolish borderline corrupt to even allow this. It’s worrisome as we become more tech focussed and we still have dumb ass people in our government.

      Why is this not a state owned company in the first place. Or just a service provided by the state.
