Dutch government to block takeover of cloud services company Solvinity by US-based Kyndryl

THE HAGUE: The proposed sale of Dutch cloud services provider Solvinity to U.S. software company Kyndryl will be blocked under a ‌law designed ⁠to ⁠curb foreign control over telecoms services, a Dutch government minister said on Tuesday.

Solvinity hosts the Dutch government’s DigiD personal identity system, which residents of the country must use ⁠to contact ‌government services and to access their medical, insurance and tax ⁠files among other things.
