The University of Amsterdam or UvA in Dutch is the biggest and the main university of Amsterdam.

AIVD

An advisory referendum was called on the 2018 Dutch Intelligence and Security Services Act, after a campaign to obtain sufficient support declarations for a referendum was initiated by a group of students at the University of Amsterdam concerned about the sweeping surveillance powers granted to the General Intelligence and Security Service or AIVD under the new law. The new act made it legal for the AIVD to set-up unique non-removable DNA-databases, to infect computers in a network or proximity of another pc to hack a target computer, and share hacked information with foreign entities without any information what or to who the information was sent.

Although the Director-General of the AIVD Rob Bertholee lied about more parts of the act in media appearances, such as being allowed to hack entire cities without any legal basis to save the information gained for at least 3 years, the majority voted against the act but the law was revised very slightly but ratified in 2018.

IfS

The Dutch cluster of the II appeared to be travelling the Netherlands around the same time the Dutch Cluster of the II was set-up with an anti-fake news lecture at the University of Amsterdam in 2017, on the topic of fake news along with an anti-fake news campaign by media appearances of her co-speaker Marc Tuters, who linked "a frog using intimidation" and Donald Trump to several social media-outlets with a different view on the official narrative. In April of 2018 Ida Eklund-Lindwall, Stephen Dalziel (a director for the IfS, member of the Institute for Statecraft/Tor team), EU DisinfoLab member Guillaume Chaslot and London School of Economics professor Peter Pomerantsev joined in an "annual disinformation event"-session hosted by DisinfoPortal and the Atlantic Council, named "exposing the Kremlin's toolkit". Andy Pryce and several contacts of the IfS were other panel members in other sessions. Dalziel used the title "Senior Fellow, The Institute for Statecraft" which is quite interesting after the events that led to the Institute for Statecraft/Cover up.
