Deepl translation to English:

Dutch petition: Stop big tech and make the Netherlands digitally sovereign before the end of 2027

The US has become an unreliable partner under the Trump administration. Yet our government, healthcare and education still rely on American Big Tech. Through this petition, we demand digital independence: invest in Dutch and European infrastructure, protect our data and build our own technology. https://stopbigtech.petities.nl/

Sounds like something every European country should go forward with.
