  • Because nobody in this comment section are going to know this, as they are just looking to dog on danish politicians (which they deserve and is based), please remember that Denmark has a universal digital ID system. If you are a citizen, you have a digital ID. It is not hard for, say, Facebook, to authenticate you once with this ID. It does not leak information continuously, and a self-respecting platform, unlike Facebook, can simply keep a boolean in their database for “is age verified” after asking the ID system what your age is.

    The only real issue here is that users have no granular control over what information is taken out of the ID system, so Facebook could just take your full name, address and age.

    It’s also not going to be applied universally, because for one danish politicians don’t know that the internet exists outside of TikTok and facebook, but also because that’s not possible to implement.

    If you are a danish citizen, and you’re smart, you go to borger.dk and apply for Name & Address Protection. Then even MitID can’t leak a lot of that information. It’s free and easy.




  • We dislike it because nobody needs it. Nobody here is getting DDoS’d to any extend that needs external protection.

    I’m talking anecdotally but it seems to me that all the people who ride-or-die Cloudflare are also self-hosters who aren’t very knowledgeable about self-hosting concepts and just heard that cloudflare protects against all these imaginary problems because they sure do sound scary!












  • Every system, public or private, references this number. In practice, this allows authorities, and anyone with access, to track a person’s movements, habits, and history across virtually every aspect of society.

    No it fucking doesn’t you dumbass. I give my CPR to an employer, that doesn’t give them access to anything besides confirmation that I am who I say I am. Nobody but the medical system has access to my health records and even that is wound up in numerous laws and explicit-consent forms.

    There is no cross-contamination of data, it’s just an ID.

    In Denmark, any public employee can search your CPR number in the national system and instantly pull up everything the state knows about you. If you work in healthcare, you have access to all health records, yes, everything, down to the embarrassing detail you once mentioned to your doctor about that spot on your buttcheek.

    I’m not gonna read the rest of this, because they’re literally lying. That’s not how CPR works. Fuck off.

    Denmark has many flaws you could point to, why make shit up?
