Danish Apps See Surge in Downloads Amid Greenland Crisis with U.S.
In Denmark, mobile applications designed to help consumers identify and boycott American goods have experienced a significant increase in downloads following tensions between the U.S. and Denmark over Greenland. The 'Made O’Meter' app, created by Ian Rosenfeldt, saw around 30,000 downloads in just three days during the height of the diplomatic crisis in late January. This app uses artificial intelligence to scan products and suggest European-made alternatives, allowing users to avoid U.S. brands. The surge in interest coincided with President Trump's controversial remarks about acquiring Greenland, a semiautonomous Danish territory. Another app, 'NonUSA,' also reported a spike in downloads, with over 25,000 on a single day. Despite the symbolic nature of these boycotts, the apps have provided a sense of empowerment to users who wish to express their discontent with U.S. policies.
