According to the human civil rights movements, the Swiss Ordinance on the Surveillance of Post and Telecommunications Traffic (VÜPF) significantly extends the obligation of metadata retention for large communications service providers. It also imposes user identification requirements on virtually all online service providers, including virtual private network (VPN) providers.
A coalition of international human and digital rights organizations, including Amnesty International and European Digital Rights (EDRi), urges the Swiss Federal Council to amend or abandon proposed changes that would expand mass data retention and user identification obligations for nearly all telecom and internet service providers.

Switzerland has been losing its privacy-respecting status for a while now.
Which country is (currently) next on the list then?Lol hi
Most of the nordic is next on that list, starting with sweden if I have to guess one
Realistically, we need to assume all countries that extradite to US or are friendly with US, are not secure. Unironically, Russian VPN might be more secure for Americans than European one, but don’t quote me on that.
Mulvad and ivpn tend to be the highest recommended in my circles. Proton has been losing ground significantly.
