Ugh, the Netherlands should prohibit its own corporations from being taken over by US companies. Fuck this, this is state terrorism.
Or at least have some concept of strategic industries where this can’t just happen without the government having looked into the implications. Industries like energy, arms and cloud.
Even (or well, especially) China does this better.
China for example has a mandate that companies have to be headed and overseen by a state employee, independent from the company's CEOs.
What the EU must do, is to achieve full operational independence from foreign actors.
That only moves the problem around
It does, but at least they're more accountable. And honestly, having full independence of the EU is critical especially in these stormy times!
You mean IBM.
And now solvinity is at risk of CLOUDACT data leaks because it's owned by a US company.
Abandon ship!
