Comment on Denmark wants to ban VPNs to unlock foreign, illegal streams – and experts are worried

  It isn’t just Denmark. You see it here in Sweden, too. I’d be surprised if you didn’t see it across Europe.

  I’m not really happy with any of the big political parties here in Sweden. The Greens hate nuclear power so much they’d prefer to open up fossil fuelled power plants than keep nuclear ones up and running. The Left party work really hard to get out of the EU. These are both parties I align the best with.

  The Social Democrats are just these milquetoast soft-core conservatives, pretending to care about issues but turning their coats the second they get the chance. Unfortunately they always end up leading any of the left-winged government coalitions, typically with the help from the Centre who then gets to dictate all the policies.

  It’s been like this for well over a decade at this point. Useless bunch, the lot of them.

    Yeah Sweden has been doing great strides toward a full surveillance state, it is creepy as fuck.

      All country leaders are looking at North Korea with loving eyes.

      I remember how almost twenty years ago people were scoffing at the great firewall of China, how they’d restrict information and what not. Now all western countries are all “we must do this, for the children!”

    Wow, this is quite an interesting read, because you can write almost the same thing - word for word - about Germany. It’s the same overall in Germany with a few differences like time (it has been going on for a lot longer here) and some of the left are a bit different.
