HN is being affected by the American love of conspiracy once more. In reality:

Danes trust their state - for good reason. But this is obviously taking it too far.

Its not that Peter Hummelgaard is trying to create a spy state. He just doesn’t understand tech.

Simple as that.

>Danes trust their state - for good reason

>>Nordic Waste is owned by the family of Torben Østergaard-Nielsen, reported to be the sixth richest person in Denmark. Last week, the Danish Ministry of the Environment issued an injunction against Nordic waste, and yesterday (22 January 2024) the company was declared bankrupt. The company has declared that this ends Nordic Waste’s liabilities.

Blind trust always gets betrayed, and all the Scandinavian countries have closed their eyes for too long; I want Olof Palme back.

It sounds like they're like the Dutch. The government is trusted because they've been shown to be trustworthy, but they are always accountable. If something dodgy happens, people are quick to point it out and demand action.

So it's not blind trust. I understand why Americans are so mistrusting of their government, it's because they are untrustworthy. The mistake is thinking everywhere in the world is like that.
