    The whole country wants to ban VPNs?

    Or just a small subset of politicians in the pocket of big corporations who see their profits melt because of their own greed?

        Wut? Are you actually suggesting that the entire population of Denmark (aka, the whole country) is just

        politicians in the pocket of big corporations

        ???

          Well, I’m an American, and we’re collectively blamed for the fuckshit our government does, so absolutely yes.

          But also, if the Danish government passes a law that goes into effect, how does it matter how many or how few Danes wanted it?

            Well, you collectively elected Trump for president.

            Twice.

              Uh huh, and how’d the Danish government arrive in power?

                Same way. But there’s a difference between proposing a VPN ban and nuking a hurricane.

                  Yeah, Denmark might actually try their stupid idea.
