Hollandsk Universitet skriver bekymret brev til ledelsen: Forlad Big Techs systemer NU!
“First of all, there are significant security and privacy risks using such cloud based solutions. The authenticators that we rely on to get access to our digital environments depend on transatlantic connections, that may be cut. Microsoft may be forced to turn our virtual office off at any time — as is happening with the International Criminal Court in The Hague.3 In such a scenario, all research, all teaching, all mentoring would come to an immediate halt. We are also losing control over our data. Microsoft (and other companies whose services we depend on) can analyse all our communications, documents, inventions, and sensitive (personal) data and use this data to build elaborate profiles on all of us, without any public oversight. The fact that the data is stored on European servers offers no (legal) protection.4 Putting our sensitive data on someone else’s hard disk, under foreign jurisdiction, via vulnerable connections, was never an enticing proposition. While many Radboud colleagues opposed the move to Office 365 several years ago, recent geopolitical developments make it clear just how dangerous the current situation is, whereby we are at the mercy of a foreign government led by a whimsical leader, who can force a company like Microsoft to comply with executive orders, or fulfil governmental access requests to data.5 This puts the whole framework for data exchange between Europe and the US in legal jeopardy.”
