Switzerland’s current surveillance law instructs mobile networks and internet service providers (ISPs) to collect and store user data. The proposed change would extend this to VPNs, messaging apps, and social media companies.
Yen described it as a “major violation of the right to privacy” – something that directly contradicts Proton’s “privacy by default” tagline.
“This revision attempts to implement something that has been deemed illegal in the EU and the United States,” Yen claimed. “The only country in Europe with a roughly equivalent law is Russia.”
