Denmark’s Digital Backlash Against the U.S.: Anti-American Apps Skyrocket Overnight

Tensions over Greenland have sparked a digital protest in Denmark, with anti-U.S. apps climbing to the top of local app store charts. Citizens in Denmark and Greenland are now using technology to identify and boycott American products, a move experts are calling a “digital war” against the U.S..

Anti-U.S. Apps Gain Massive Popularity

Amid rising geopolitical friction, two apps—NonUSA (UdenUSA) and Made O’Meter—have become wildly popular. NonUSA surged from the 441st rank on January 9 to number one in just days, while Made O’Meter reached fourth place. These apps enable users to scan barcodes and determine if a product is American-made, helping them consciously avoid U.S. goods.

How the Apps Work

The apps are designed to track supply chains and provide ownership details of scanned products. Made O’Meter acts as a grocery assistant, offering insights into the origins of goods. Both apps empower consumers to boycott American products efficiently, reflecting growing public dissatisfaction over political disputes.

From Greenland Dispute to Digital Action

The surge in anti-U.S. app usage is linked directly to controversy surrounding Greenland, particularly former President Trump’s interest in the territory. Danish citizens, upset over perceived threats to their national interests, have turned to technology as a tool for political expression. Experts note that this represents a new form of consumer activism, where citizens leverage apps to send a strong message to foreign governments through economic choices.

Protest Through Products

Interestingly, this protest uses American products themselves as the medium of dissent. By boycotting U.S.-made goods, Danish and Greenlandic consumers are signaling discontent without taking to the streets, demonstrating how digital tools can amplify public sentiment in the modern age.
