Microsoft accused of leaking Dutch civil servants' names to U.S. government | NL Times
Microsoft has reportedly shared the names of Dutch civil servants working for two regulatory agencies with the U.S. House of Representatives. 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.
The civil servants involved are working on implementing the Digital Services Act (DSA), the European law that forces online platforms to take stricter action against illegal content, online child sex abuse, and disinformation. The American government considers this law a form of censorship.
Microsoft shared emails, minutes, and invitations sent by these civil servants without redacting their names in the documents. American tech companies are required to share data with the U.S. government due to the Cloud Act in force in that country.
