Yes, I'm annoyed with UK government for this

Unfortunately, the German federal government also wants to implement this nationwide - those wretched traitors to the people.

The suppression apparatus must be in place when the AfD takes over.

Add Oracle.

And in what world does Palantir handle private data for health systems? Like, who the fuck is being greased there?

I can name two: Kunt Starmer and his mate Wes Streekofpiss.

Nice, please hurry up and expand this to all US companies before the dutch government seals the massively idiotic deal of selling DigiD to a US company

When the first thought occurred to me, I was shocking to think that any government other than the US uses tech from US companies.

This is cool and all, but what would the alternative be? Handling the data on-premises?

[–] eronth@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

On-prem with off-prem backups is a good way to go.

Handling the data on-premises?

Why not?

[–] GhostlyPixel@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m not saying no to it I’m just curious if they’re targeting some other cloud provider or if we’re going back to actually handling data on premises and handling the maintenance/availability of those systems

[–] WaxRhetorical@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

There are a handful of EU cloud providers. In addition, at least some EU countries have what amounts to a governmental cloud provider, providing services to government agencies and ministries.
