It's completely unacceptable and unconscionable for European countries to transfer any part of their critical infrastructure to the US after the US have already weaponised existing dependencies- for example putting the ICC under sanctions and blocking their access to Microsoft services. The cowardice of EU countries is really disgusting.

This is disgusting. Seriously, how is this even allowed?

The Dutch sold nexperia to the Chinese, recently decided that going to MS software for their tax division is the best option and now this. Higher ups seem to really be sleeping at the wheel.

Time to ditch DigiD? Unfortunately we are locked in as citizens.

Maybe they should open up 'eHerkenning' to citizens as well instead of only companies. And a bit more competition should be good, like use your bank to sign-in into government services.

eHerkenning cost 100eur/user/year for the most basic functionality. That’s a significant amount to pay for by the government
peterspath•54m ago
That is why the suggestion for competition is there.

DigiD is a bit less indeed, estimation: €239M GDI-budget / ~17M users ≈ ~€14 per user per year.

It’s 15-25 and you get a free grant of 25 per year

I wonder why people look at this like a deer in the headlights. Replace Solvinity/Kyndryl with another 'provider'. Hire some competent people to migrate and operate it.

The infrstructure is currently run by the Brits?

If not DigiD, then what else would even qualify for 'SECRET NOFORN' ?
