#DigitalSovereignty is at the top of the political agenda, finally, that's good. But strange things (or not so much) are happening.
Like this one: The Luxembourg gov is moving to Google Distributed Cloud, see https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/luxembourg-govt-launches-sovereign-cloud/ and it is framed as "sovereign".
The Dutch minister for Digital Affairs (outgoing) is so inspired and might follow.
But wait a minute: a managed cloud service by Google, how much sovereignty does that give to you?
Seems more like a case of #SovereigntyWashing
