>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.

That's what every politician would say about restricting privacy, it's for the kids, it's in the right hands, we would never betray your trust.
>HN discussions about politics in foreign countries are bizarre
No really bizarre is your believe that 42yo -->justice<-- minister Hummelgaard is just a naive child who knows nothing about "Internet stuff"
In his own words: "We must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone's civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services"
He absolutely knows what he's talking about.
