While it's obviously good that the EU becomes more independent from the US, the focus on having this be a software based solution is scary.

@rasmus91 @Gurre I feel like Denmark are doing a lot of things right in general.
As far as I know (correct me if I am wrong), Denmark decided to make e-mail encryption mandatory, and then relied on this existing decentralized technology for sensitive communication from the government, for example.
What did Sweden do? Well, we now have private companies like Kivra providing "secure inboxes" for people. Completely centralized, and with some proprietary (although open) protocol.
@znurre @Gurre yeah, i wish this was the case, but we also have eboks, mit, and something called digital post.
I'm not sure what protocol this uses, but it's not something you can just connect your IMAP client to.
Certainly we do some things right. But Danish industry and government has for the last three decades (in the words of my colleague) been so horny for Microsoft licensed software.
But Margrethe Vestager (who helped bring USB C charging standards to EU) is from Denmark
