    Living in Denmark, I have tried bringing things up about chat control in the office and outside, and Danes’ reaction come in 2 flavors:

    • “Peter Hummelgård is an idiot”, by those who didn’t vote for one of the “left-centrist” parties governing right now.
    • Silence.

    It is really the same reaction.

    Also, I am surprised by how many people here learn from me that the Danish police is working with Palantir.

    But Denmark is a place where the main issue right now that there are local elections is that there will be a way too high percentage of foreigners voting, mostly because the number of Danes going to vote have been dwindling for some time.

    I guess chat control and Palantir are technologies built for the kind of people who don’t trust the “foreign neighbor who is into politics”.
