On the contrary, since the state ostensibly exists to serve its citizens, there is no legitimate reason to withhold any data whatsoever from them.

The idea that all but the most dangerous military information should not be public in real time flies in the face of the concept of an informed citizenry, and is far more dangerous and pernicious than its access by hostile powers.

If some information should not be public, it simply should not be accessible by the state.

But here we're talking about giving data about the citizens to private entities in a completely different country.

I can see there being some argument for eliminating the whole idea of "classified information", but that is absolutely not what is being discussed here. This is about the private data of the people of Denmark, and keeping it private.
