Mullvad will no longer be able to accept DKK from its customers (mullvad.net)

Danish banks have implemented significant restrictions on how Danish kroner (DKK) used outside Denmark can be repatriated back into Denmark.

Due to these circumstances, which are unfortunately beyond Mullvad’s control, Mullvad will no longer be able to accept DKK from its customers. We will continue to credit DKK received until the end of the month, but considering postal delays, it is best to stop sending it immediately.

When I was in Denmark I was shocked how many cameras there were, everywhere. I mean not just in the city, but everywhere on the countrywide.

Also Denmark is one of those weird countries where its illegal to have your map software tell you where the speed cameras are.

In general, it feels like Denmark loves panoptic surveillance.

I've lived in Denmark for decades. The only cameras I see are basically surveillance cameras in stores etc and speed cameras. I see more cameras in most other countries I go to.

We have nothing compared to fx. London.

Where did you see cameras?

That's not correct. You can even buy gadgets for this in many stores.

Sounds like you haven't lived in Denmark for a while. Homes have cameras, beaches have cameras, forests have cameras, roads have cameras

That is not true at all. The police has even officially recommended the use of speed trap avoidance software. We even have an entire market of it, most notably with Saphe that's probably the world's biggest producer of traffic alarms.
