        Is this sarcastic?

        Peter Hummelgaard who said that “We must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone’s civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services”.

            I really don’t think everyone in this role would be bending the country 90 degrees for the USA to have their way with it.

            Especially when you want to appear in any way strongly opposed to them having their way with your colony.

            Also, he is the one who (barely) rewrote ChatControl proposal to be able to push it again during the Danish presidency of the EU, so he’s actually occasionally a risk for the whole Union.
