Dutch tax authorities scrap Microsoft 365 rollout for open source

The Dutch tax administration has cancelled its planned migration to Microsoft 365 and will instead move toward open-source alternatives, according to a ZDNet report being widely shared. The decision is being framed by privacy and free-software advocates as a win for digital sovereignty, cybersecurity and data protection, and may influence other European public bodies weighing dependence on US cloud vendors.
Why now: European governments are reassessing reliance on US tech providers amid privacy and digital-sovereignty concerns, so a major tax agency dropping Microsoft is a significant signal.
