Yes, there is enough to deal with, regarding Denmark’s use of technology from e.g. USA.
One of the very big ones, I think, is Denmark’s purchase and use of Palantir. I don’t have the surplus, but isn’t someone soon going to make a citizens’ proposal about the abolition of Palantir?

Hvad i alverden er der nu galt med Palantir?
Egentligt er det vel forbudt at bruge et amerikansk selskab til noget som helst der har person-følsomme data 🤷🏻♂️ – da amerikanske selskaber har pligt til både at give data videre hvis det er ønsket og også holde det hemmeligt
Bare firmanavnet alene har altid givet mig kuldegysninger. Måske bare fordi man er Tolkien nørd og ved hvad det er i Middle-earth universet.
Elsker vi er i gang med at gå væk fra Microsoft baserede produkter, men så ved at få mere Palantir 😀
Oh no. Palantir is what is being used to kill people in gaza via the IDF. Terrible company. Abolish it.
If a country wanted to create a surveillance state that is the company you’d hire, who also monitor who hires *them*. Palantir is the tech arm of the CIA. The extremist militant Zionists who run it are creepier than you’d ever imagine.
Even employees warned they were concerned how it was being used: https://www.npr.org/2025/05/05/nx-s1-5387514/palantir-workers-letter-trump
Deep dive how Palantir buys data from small er companies who compile people’s personal info- (paywall) https://www.404media.co/elite-the-palantir-app-ice-uses-to-find-neighborhoods-to-raid/
📌But a summary version how it works can be heard with 404Media founder on On the Media here- really excellent, free (but NPR is donor supported) must be heard to see how Palantir is using data against US citizens: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/trumps-plan-to-tank-america
And they work in tandem with the other creepy surveillance business: Oracle, run by extremist Larry Ellison. Who also happens to be the partial new owner of TikTok. Ownership was just transferred to the US yesterday.
Of course, TikTok security concerns are as valid now as they were before- and that he US now shares ownership with Chinese owner ByteDance is more concerning for users, not less.
A security expert told the business news CNBC last year how TikTok surveil users (tracking pixels) and those who don’t even have the app:

Her er analyse fra Professor Francesca Bria ( xof-research.org ) der viser hvordan Palantir er en del af større tech økosystem – et netværk af amerikanske virksomheder, fonde og politiske handskedukker der er ved at gøre centrale dele af den amerikanske stat til en privat platform.
Gæt hvem der er næst på to-do listen?

“Silicon Valley isn’t building apps anymore. It’s building empires. Silicon Valley’s Authoritarian Tech Right is not theorizing this world. They are already building it. The pipelines are operational. The feedback loops are functioning. The sovereignty transfers are completing.
Democracy persists as a legacy interface— maintained for stability, while being systematically hollowed out and replaced.
The question now is whether democratic societies can recognize this formation for what it is—and build alternatives before the infrastructure of control becomes too deeply embedded to dislodge.”
Kan vi?
Peter Thiel is one of the reasons the US is in the state it’s in…he’s a billionaire financial benefactor and acolyte/believer in this weird “Dark Enlightenment” ideology along with Elon Musk and JD Vance.
Denmark continuing to economically engage with the US weapons manufacturers and the tech intelligence apparatus is shooting itself in the foot. The government is giving money and power to the corporations and agencies that have been surveiling and arresting the same leftist Americans they are calling on to rise up and do something.
LinkedIn er det værste. LinkedIn belønner synlighed frem for kompetence, og det gør rekruttering skæv.
Før i tiden kunne man møde op, aflevere sit CV og blive vurderet som menneske… ikke som algoritmisk profil. Jeg forstår ikke, hvorfor vi har accepteret en model, hvor afstand og iscenesættelse har erstattet direkte menneskelig kontakt.
Hvorfor?
Hvad skulle sådan et borgerforslag hjælpe?
Du kan ikke afskaffe noget amerikansk software ved et borgerforslag, kan vi ikke lige prøve at sætte os bare lidt ind i, hvad vi snakker om?
Hvor kommer dette pludselig had mod Palantir fra?
Ved i overhovedet hvad det er?
De har samlet en tech stack, der mere eller mindre består af et helt almindelig open source Spark cluster, og så smidt deres visualiseringsværktøj på toppen. Og så bruger man værktøjer til at sammenkøre data fra forskellige registre.
Der er intet magi i det, og ja, de prøver at booste ideen om at det er AI der kører hele platformen, når det bare er nøgler, og statistik der trækker de meste af læsset.
Med andre ord, det hele kan bygges open source.
Vi har andre systemer i Skat der ikke bruger palantir, som fungerer efter samme koncepter. Altså sammenkøre registre, kig på gennemgående nøgler og så noget statistik.
Palantir er som alle andre der sælger total overvågning maksimale douchebags. Men hvorfor skubbe Palantir ud, og så få en anden leverandør ind, der sælger et system der kan det samme?
Det er totalt at misse hele skiven, når man kæmper mod Palantir, og ikke mod den totale overvågning, som staten ønsker.
Palantir bliver slutningen på fri tale, og anonymitet.
Det kunne være interessant om du kender et ikke amerikansk alternativ, der kan det samme, som vi kunne bruge i stedet!?
I’m not Danish but isn’t Systematic a company with similar products (SitaWare etc) ?
