US tech firms share Dutch regulator officials' names with Senate

US tech companies including Microsoft and Meta shared names of Dutch government officials and academics working on European tech regulation with a US Senate committee investigating "tech censorship," prompting the Dutch cabinet to condemn the move as "extremely worrying" due to potential travel bans or sanctions against the named civil servants. Dutch ministers have raised the issue with the US ambassador and stated they will discuss it through proper diplomatic channels, though they acknowledge that stopping work with US tech companies is not feasible in the short term.
