> According to reporting from the Netherlands, Microsoft allegedly shared the names and internal communications of Dutch officials working on EU platform regulation with the U.S. House of Representatives, including email addresses, meeting minutes, and invitations. Those officials were tied to agencies that enforce the Digital Services Act, making the context especially sensitive because the data belonged to regulators shaping Europe’s platform rules. While the House and Microsoft refuse to comment, the issue highlights the asymmetry of digital power. A European government can think it is operating within its own administrative boundaries while its data still sits in a system accessible from Washington.
