    Geez. That all sounds awful. I’m glad we aren’t to that point in my country. Having to provide an ID anytime you buy shit online is so dystopic.

          As I said in another comment; Danes have a comparatively high trust in their government and the systems that are set up in the country. So if it’s assured that this way is more private and secure than alternatives, then that’s generally what’s believed.

            That seems a very naïve approach to any system that has real-world power telling you what you can and can’t do.
