The Social Democrats’ support for extensive digital surveillance has sparked debate and raised concerns about potential misuse of data, privacy violations, and the impact on civil liberties. Critics argue that the current government’s approach to data collection and access could lead to the erosion of fundamental rights.

Recent discussions have centered on the balance between security and individual freedoms. Some worry about the potential for abuse of power and the long-term consequences of unchecked surveillance.

Concerns have been raised about the security of citizens’ data and the potential for hostile actors to gain access to sensitive information. The implications of sharing data with the EU and other international entities are also being questioned.

The use of AI and data analysis tools by intelligence services has amplified worries about the potential for errors and unintended consequences. The possibility of misinterpreting data or drawing inaccurate conclusions based on incomplete information is a significant concern.

There are worries about the lack of transparency and accountability in the way data is collected, stored, and used. The potential for mission creep and the expansion of surveillance powers over time is also a major point of contention.

The debate also encompasses the cost of electricity generated by solar and wind power, with concerns raised about the impact of taxes and VAT on consumer prices. Comparisons with other countries show that Danish consumers pay significantly more for electricity.

The discussion on nuclear power involves examining double standards and reliance on other countries’ nuclear power production. The need to learn from countries with experience in nuclear energy is emphasized.

Some feel that the level of trust required to support expansive surveillance laws is too high, and that the potential risks outweigh the benefits. Questions are raised about the long-term implications for privacy and civil liberties.
