The Amsterdam police's seizure of a server from the Italian internet service provider Autistici/Inventati (A/I) under a U.S. legal assistance request undermines the digital sovereignty of the Netherlands.

RE: https://nrc.social/@NRC/117439326530971500 Amsterdam police seized a server belonging to Autistici/Inventati (A/I) from a data center at Amsterdam Science Park, acting on a US legal assistance request. Police digital experts are making an image of the drive, which goes straight to the US. A/I spent 25 years providing free web hosting and email to about 20,000 left-wing and anti-capitalist groups. In August the US branded it a terrorist organization. #digitalsovereignty #opensource #EUpolicy
