Swiss surveillance could become worse than US
If passed, chat, email & VPN providers from #Switzerland must:
🚨 Log IP addresses
🚨 Ask for ID upon sign up
🚨 Decrypt data upon request
Swiss Bundesrat is still discussing this draft bill, decision will likely be made in 2026.

in reply to Tuta • • •Why do I get the feeling that lately, in so many countries, new regulations are popping up with only one purpose - to erode privacy 🔓? It feels like a bad joke. I can't keep up anymore.
I wish I could fight them all at once, put pressure everywhere 🌍, no matter where I live. But I don't have the time. I'm already drowning in an endless to-do list.
Why couldn't the government set a different deadline? Why are they so determined to push this through? My mind can't wrap around it
I just hope they come to their senses and never implement it 🙏

in reply to Tuta • • •Oh fuck! What does this mean for all the Swiss-based privacy and security platforms, like Proton?
I mean, Proton's CEO Andy Yen already showed his true colors by advocating for Trump's support of little guy "tech startups" (read: Sillycon Valley broligarchs), so I'm already transitioning out of Proton's ecosystem.
Update: See thread below. I'm incorrect with the above statement regarding Proton's CEO.

in reply to Tuta • • •Just out of curiosity, if you use your own email client and send GPG/PGP encrypted email, how does an email provider decrypt it?
Sometimes encryption is a necessity even if privacy isn't an issue. Example: I've used encryption to send a JAR file to a friend for testing: he had a gmail account and Google
doesn't allow JAR files as email attachments to "protect the user". This hid it from
Google's software. It wasn't really secret - the password was in the email's text.

Will dump Proton and mag on their brand if this BS passes.
