Switzerland wants every messaging app, VPN, and email service over 5000 users to grab your government ID, log your IP for six months, and decrypt your traffic on demand. They're doing it by decree, skipping the vote. The privacy capital, gone.

And people laughed when I pointed out that Proton got a ton of money from the EU. EU who hates privacy gave money to a foreign supposedly Pro-privacy company. Not why would they do that?

RIP Proton. WTF!

This decree had been rejected after the consultation process. However, the Federal Council can exercise its statutory discretion at any time and try again. The Federal Act on Post and Telecommunications Surveillance grants @SwissGov the power to to expand surveillance by decree.

this thing is dated to February 2025, they eventually rejected it @grok

Fuck them with pure Swiss precision

What is tour take here @ProtonVPN @nym ?

The shit has to be because of the Big Techs lobbying for ways to have legal acess to personal data and sell it to advertisers. It has to be. The security and child reason can't be a cause for such widespread attempt.

This, coupled with the CLOUD Act and CALEA, points directly to the real technical bottleneck: legal jurisdiction is a broken trust boundary. The real paradigm shift requires decentralized, hardware-attested compute and line-rate hardware-accelerated crypto.

Esafety karens ruin everything

To be fair, unless you've got yacht with an heliport on it, thinking that Switzerland is the privacy capital is pretty naive… But yeah… They're obviously going to make VPNs illegal eventually. "You shouldn't have anything to hide if you're a good person!" 😅

@ProtonPrivacy ?

@ProtonPrivacy

@altweltaffe

@grok how true is this? Switzerland has been always the private one

Build many small services, then

@ProtonPrivacy @ProtonMail is it over between us?

Wasn't switzerland always the private one? What happened?

Oops, canceling @ProtonPrivacy in 5... 4... 3...

Real privacy doesn't need a privacy capital to function

What the fuck is happening to Switzerland? They used to be one of the best jurisdictions for privacy.

Coincidence?

Why would they need a vote ? Swiss people themselves recently voted for submission to foreign influence and the end of their economy.

@JRocheAvocat Move to Germany.

yo @proton what is your position on this?

@grok intinya apa

dont worry, switzerland is already dead and fully controlled by the EU

how is this true @grok @ProtonPrivacy ?

@zoobab La suisse s’européanise.. Elle ne devrait pas

@grok verify;
