Dutch government blocks US company from acquisition: "risk to public interest"

rastakid writes: Following months of public debate and protests against the acquisition of Solvinity, a Dutch cloud provider that hosts the Netherlands’ online identity platform, by American IT giant Kyndryl, the Dutch government has decided to block the acquisition. The deal triggered fears that it would mean that "DigiD" data would fall under foreign control, and could be demanded by U.S. authorities.
