The agencies involved include the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) and the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP), according to an article published on Friday by Vrij Nederland.

Hey, it takes time for governments to change.
My wife still uses Lotus Notes for her government job.

This. It will take years.
But even when trump has fucked off I believe the damage he has done is irreversible and the EU reliance on US tech is a thing of the past.
Well that's my hope atleast haha.

Here's hoping the next oligarch puppet the America elect doesn't try to smooth ruffled feathers with hollow promises and no actual actions or revoking the cloud act.

It will take years because it isn't a priority. If this were treated with the same urgency as a war, we'd have very impressive results within a year within the EU.
But we have too many people who are dependent on money from the US.

Fun fact: it is possible for governments to change quickly. Sometimes it even improves matters!

Imagine that all of Meta’s evil could be undone overnight by everyone deleting their accounts and yet here we are.
Same for Microsoft. They will never change.
