Good luck to them.

With the advent of Tor and Freenet, they're going to need it.

This may seem really scary for all of Denmark citizens but trust me, the government will not monitor every citizen. It is just a waste of time, this law technically gives you access to anyones personal life without needing to infest a person with a virus. This law will be used on people that are seen as threats to politics or government for their personal gain.

LOL and China is still trying
to control its internet.
they dont stand a chance.
they would have to Stop ALL wifi.
and up date them all.

How come I haven't heard about this? And I am a Danish citizen?

We don't need this kind of thing.. Absolutely a waste of resources! I mean, imagine being monitored all the time? No thanks. We already have way too many cameras monitoring our every move on the streets and what have you!
And to be honest, I don't think the rest of Denmark would want our privacy invaded. I believe that we are very proud of our freedom of speech.

Let's wait and see what happens

we had this one coming, didn't we?

first of all this is nothing new. we shouldn't be surprised.
As Noam Chomsky explained in "Manufacturing Consent", the type of democracy we live in can't exist if the access to information and/or the creation of certain types of information isn't controlled.

I remember being an "expert guest" in a tv-show over here in W-Europe, where the topic "sex and the media" was being discussed. That was in 1995 or 96 (my old brain can't remember). About that time mainstream media started to pay little attention to the web, bringing fear mongering bull# stories about the dangers on the web.
My plea way back was to allow self-regulation to search for its own limits but at the same time I warned the audience that it wouldn't last... as soon as enough "consumers" entered cyberspace, commercial interests would grow too important to leave regulation to the actors in the fields.
Closing down the net makes no sense, from an economical point of view (why do you think the Big Brands of the Web were at the Bilderberg meeting?) so what is needed is to take away the margins that are left for those of us who think there are better things to do than to "like" our peers' bullsh*t... researching stuff for example.

As this leaves the risk that - as the Big Assh*le Brezinsky recently stated - more people than ever before will wake up, in a political sense, something has to be done about it.

For those, like me, who witnessed the advent of the web, there's but one thing to do: don't weep too much for the demise of the web, this is only a natural evolution.

Of course, PITA's like myself will continue, using stuff like Tor or the truly decentralized web to come. This however doesn't really bother them, as they will have what they want: a sleeping mass of consumers. These consumers will never reach for tools like Tor, as they prefer to click on thumbs.

And that is why such stuff gets passed behind your back. Nothing good will happen from sitting back and waiting for it to be passed or not. What you should do is write your politicians, protest and so on.
The more the people sit back and do nothing the more the state will rape you.

Yeah.. like people downloading some music, tv or discuss illegal activities like for example drugs.
It was same with the national firewall we got here and in several other western countries. They claimed this would only be used to block childporn, but instead they are now trying their best to extend it to block even discussion forums, gambling sites, torrent/p2p sites and so on.
And now that they passed the law about tracking they already admitted this will be used against small crimes, like a person who smokes a joint on a weekend or a person who downloaded a tv series.

This is probably going to just get worse and worse. Yet anonymous thrives. Orlanda FL website were just hit for retribution about prosecuting people feeding homeless people.

More like the people of denmark wont allow it. I'll bet there is a #storm coming soon.

Man...this is something that I would have thought NK would do...what the hell is up with Denmark

Come on danes, where is that viking spirit of freedom to sail the open intersea's!

Alas, now you are reduced from powerful and fearful tribesmen and sailors to...porn and troll police.
my how the mighty fall...

That is because they are tracking everything we do, even now, EVEN HERE! Yes people we are being watched especially the people here. Time to wake up! Makes me feel like not coming here somedays.......SERIOUSLY!

I thought parliaments were supposed to pass laws they had run by the public in their manifestos. There seems to be a huge gulf developing between what the public have agreed to and what the public are having forced upon them by some lobbying group.

This knee jerk nonsence about the internet is fine as far as I am concerned if its child porn, but there is a point when government is being simply too intrusive, how long before they demand to know the sized of our nickers? I'm all for not handicapping the police but I think where a crime has been committed they have the right to investigate, but thats where the line is drawn, legistation should not be to spy on the public. Denmark is a tiny country with no immigrants only long established nationals, its crime rate is relatively low so why the spy or is it because the 'head' of Bildenburg lives there
