nlpol, dependency on US tech 

In case you missed it: a day or two ago, the House of Representatives in the Netherlands voted in favour of *every single* 'digital sovereignty' proposal for reducing and even removing government dependence on US tech companies and cloud services.

This is a major change from the Dutch government's past view of the US as a trustworthy ally; now, they are being talked about like an adversary, "they could use our tech dependency to apply political pressure".

Several of the proposals were approved *unanimously*, not just across all parties, but across every. single. sitting member of the House.
