A law that was created to counter Chinese control over Dutch companies was used. This says alot about the lost trust in the United States.

For some tiny bit of context for Americans to help them understand. DigiID is an app tied to the equivalent to your social security number. So when ever you do anything that requires you to provide a social for identification you can usually do it through the app.
Want to take a driving theory exam? You can use the app to submit and pay for it.
Need to submit paperwork for a lost residence permit, you can do it through digiid.
Pay your taxes? Digiid.
The implications of a foreign nation being able to track and map the government level lives of people naturally bothers a lot.
Edit. Reddit being pedantic as usual. This is not a comprehensive breakdown of said app. Its to help Americans conceptualize what this is used for and why its such a fuss

Well done the Dutch – wish we’d have done the same thing here in the UK. There’s a lot of debate at the moment about NHS data being sold to Palantir – which will affect medication and health products. We’ve also sold a lot of our basic infrastructure and product access to the states including some of the best things in life; crisps and chocolate. They’re replaced a lot of the ingredients with corn syrup and palm oil, all while hiking up the prices. There isn’t a single product that the USA has made better in my view – it all taste like crap now.

Slap one of those “I did that” Trump stickers on this shit too.
We all know he’s a criminal.
Stop pretending he isn’t literally criminal scum.
We all see it.
Literally nobody trusts the USA anymore.

The less global states have to do with America, the better. America is fucked. Trump is now responsible for 27% of it’s national debt – and he only making it far worse. America is heading for another economic and finacial crash.

It’s still early. Let’s not celebrate too soon. D66, the party involved, are notorious for backtracking.

The US company making the purchase should be sanctioned. Its objective is clearly not clean.
