It’s not that bad. This has been the norm in Scandinavia since forever. No house burnt down yet.

It wouldn’t stand up to traffic pattern analysis:
- VPN traffic tend to have very uniform traffic pattern
- Most VPN traffic runs on UDP, not TCP
- All VPN protocols that I’m aware of have characteristic handshake patterns, even wireguards extremely fast 1-RTT handshake.
- HTTPS traffic is very bursts and TCP retransmission patterns look very distinct.
But then I doubt an ISP would run deep traffic pattern analysis on all traffic. So you’d probably be fine.
But yeah, setting up your own VPN server on some random 1-core/2 GB RAM server is extremely easy.
That’s wrong.
Article 4(3) TEU requires that the country holding the rotating presidency of the council must act in the spirit of sincere cooperation, which means it must act as an “honest broker” and not pursue national interests. This means it must seek to find a compromise if the council cannot agree, which Denmark has done.
Look, I’m not a fan of chat control. But the blame doesn’t lie with the Danes, it’s the whole of the EU one must blame.
And for anyone actually bothering to read the legislation instead of joining the band wagon, that’s is literally exactly what the EU proposal calls for: Zero Knowledge Proof.
Scan your biometric proof (passport, id card or log into government issued service), get a set of ZKP tokens which the app can release on demand. These tokens are not traceable back to your identity.
Because Denmark holds the rotating EU presidency, Denmark is literally required by treaty to work towards compromise when the council cannot agree. If it wasn’t Denmark doing this work, it would be another country holding the EU presidency doing it.
It’s not really about Denmark - it’s about the entire council agreeing with a compromise the presidency has to seek.
She’s not selling 1.7tn of Venezuela’s assets. She’s saying she will open a 1.7tn market (ie a market with a total revenue of 1.7tn) for foreign investment.
It doesn’t make it better, necessarily, but it does make a difference.
