    Time to ditch US tech for homegrown options, says Dutch parliament

    Trump administration 'has made the call for tech sovereignty an urgent geopolitical issue'

    Not content to wait for open letters to influence the European
    Commission, Dutch parliamentarians have taken matters into their own
    hands by passing eight motions urging the government to ditch US-made
    tech for homegrown alternatives.

    Ahh... everything is unfolding exactly as I have predicted! I have been
    harping on this theme for a few years, and finally the world is changing adopting my point of view.

    I feel powerful indeed! ;)

    Jokes aside, this theme did get me 10000 views on linkedin, and did get me
    a nice article in a mainstream media outlet.

    I'll continue to spin this and hopefully I should be able to land another article or two. =D
