Microsoft confirmed the disconnection, which raises profound concerns about digital dependence on US services. Lawmakers like MP Kathmann question the implications for the independence of critical sectors and how such actions could affect Dutch citizens' access to services. This incident underlines the vulnerabilities faced by organizations reliant on American technology and calls into question market dominance in the digital realm.
"Incidents like this show how vulnerable organizations can be when they depend on US IT services, especially in the current geopolitical climate."
