> Henriks true penalty would be living in a country of 6 million people that all know his face and that he is a pedophile.
This is what I object to, not really your comment. Is this factored into the sentencing? If he weren't a public figure would he have a harsher sentence?
> You don’t have to worry about him doing anything in Politics again
Sure, if everyone in Denmark remembers this guy then he won't be popular. But really we don't have to worry about him? 4 months later is he just free to go back to collecting CP, maybe leave Denmark, etc?

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.
Denmark often copy policies and implementation from the netherlands. Our societies are quite similar.
Learning about what policies work by looking at other countries is of course a foreign concept to American exceptionalists
>Sweden and Denmark are different countries btw.
I was talking about Scandinavian Country's, most of those Country's are called "high trust societies" often with too much trust in their government.
>debate in Denmark clearly shows that it’s difficult for non technical people to understand the limits of tech
Install a system that reads your private messages is absolutely not a technical thing.
Hummelgaard and his colleagues have repeatedly demonstrated that they believe a backdoor can be made that would only be used occasionally only by the right authorities. Even some of the opposition seems to believe this.
When discussing politics in foreign countries, consider how much context you are missing. Those of us that live in the country and speak the language have consumed its news for years.
HN discussions about politics in foreign countries are bizarre
What an absolutely absurd statement
care to clarify?
If you are so sure about that why wouldn’t they make it a domestic law instead of an EU wide law? I’m not American nor Danish and I certainly do not trust my government. Kind of naive - no one should trust their government in this day and age.
It’s also convenient that Denmark is essentially the US’ eyes and ears in Europe, who even spied on other nations for them.
Having a largely non corrupt government that enjoys the trust of the general population yields benefits on all levels of society. Its a big part of the reason these countries are the happiest and healthiest.
>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.
>Its not that Peter Hummelgaard is trying to create a spy state. He just doesn’t understand tech.
Oh nooo that poor little guy, cant even think 5 minutes into the future, he's 42 not 80.
Nordic Waste and Olof Palme seem like quite random unrelated references. Sweden and Denmark are different countries btw.
The public debate in Denmark clearly shows that it’s difficult for non technical people to understand the limits of tech. Regardless of age.
Last I read he's leaving the country and moving to Portugal.
Being exiled is pretty rough, though the weather is better
Is that out of line with similar offenses in Denmark?
The judge noted that given the publicity of the case, Henriks true penalty would be living in a country of 6 million people that all know his face and that he is a pedophile.
You don’t have to worry about him doing anything in Politics again. This isn’t the US after all…
