- There is a banner warning at the DigiD website (in dutch) about this:
https://www.digid.nl/solvinity
One of the FAQ questions is: Will an American company soon be able to view my data?
This tells a lot about US street cred atm. This was added to the website not because of niche political activism but by a sizeable concern of the population.

- Time to ditch DigiD?
Unfortunately we are locked in as citizens.
Maybe they should open up 'eHerkenning' to citizens as well instead of only companies. And a bit more competition should be good, like use your bank to sign-in into government services.
- I wonder why people look at this like a deer in the headlights. Replace Solvinity/Kyndryl with another 'provider'. Hire some competent people to migrate and operate it.

- It's completely unacceptable and unconscionable for European countries to transfer any part of their critical infrastructure to the US after the US have already weaponised existing dependencies- for example putting the ICC under sanctions and blocking their access to Microsoft services. The cowardice of EU countries is really disgusting.
- They can already request DigiD info given a good reason.

- The Dutch sold nexperia to the Chinese, recently decided that going to MS software for their tax division is the best option and now this. Higher ups seem to really be sleeping at the wheel.

If not DigiD, then what else would even qualify for 'SECRET NOFORN' ?
