It bothers me more that it was held in the Netherlands than that it was held on Azure servers.

It’s a fucking disgrace to any government to be facilitating anything like this, and the Netherlands seems extra complicit.

But why do you think the Netherlands govt was in anyway involved in this? I host some bsremetal in the Netherlands but I don't need to report to the government what I store..

What makes you think Netherlands government knows what data resides within its borders?

    I don’t necessarily expect them to know what resides within their borders, I merely expect them to act against atrocities. It is no accident that all this data was located in the Netherlands.

      It was located in the Netherlands because the Netherlands has excellent privacy and data protection laws. It's the same reason so much cybercrime is traced back to Dutch servers.
