Police in Amsterdam seized a server from a data center in the city’s eastern district on Tuesday, following a request from U.S. authorities. The police confirmed the seizure after it was reported by the NRC.The seized server belongs to Italian internet provider Autistici/Inventati (A/I). Dutch police are creating a digital image of its data to hand over to U.S. authorities, as required under the American request for legal assistance.
Cosplaying to be anti “American Tech”, then kissing the empire hand for blessing.
If i read the source from NRC correctly (I’m dutch), the disks were already wiped.
I think this is a matter of not letting a small incident irritate the orange monkey too much. Let’s keep that when it actually matters. Not getting some wiped disk with nothing on it.
That still creates a procedural precedence. That means small orgs can get paralyzed from any US whim if they don’t have the means to quickly transfer their servers.
Now the US can ramp up the effort, asking for another server, and another, hey, here’s a list for now. The next one is coming in 3 days.

Okay, that’s more like hilarious malicious compliance, then. I pronounce the Dutch still cool
