Dutch tax authority halts Microsoft cloud migration over expert criticism
Original: Following criticism from experts, the Dutch tax services decide to cease migration to Microsoft and instead look for alt
The Dutch tax service, the Belastingdienst, has stopped its planned migration to Microsoft's cloud following criticism from experts and will instead use its own servers while seeking alternatives. The decision is being discussed as a notable step for digital sovereignty in the Netherlands and the wider EU, where reliance on US cloud providers has faced growing scrutiny.
Why now: It is a concrete example of European governments rethinking dependence on US tech providers amid digital sovereignty concerns.
