All Europeans 🇪🇺<p>Swiss Tech Company Proton Warns of Surveillance State Expansion ⚠️ </p><p>Proton CEO Andy Yen has raised concerns about a proposed revision to Switzerland's surveillance law, which he says would lead to an "aggressive expansion of the surveillance state". The law would require companies like Proton, which provide secure email and messaging services, to cooperate with authorities in extracting data, potentially compromising users' privacy.</p><p>Yen says: "We will be forced to leave Switzerland if the planned revision of the surveillance law comes into force. There is no way we can comply with this law. Swiss surveillance would be much stricter than in the US and EU, and Switzerland as a location would lose its competitiveness".</p><p><a href="https://www.derbund.ch/andy-yen-gegen-revisionsplan-des-bundesrats-mit-dieser-aggressiven-ueberwachung-muesste-proton-die-schweiz-verlassen-487339556764" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">derbund.ch/andy-yen-gegen-revi</span><span class="invisible">sionsplan-des-bundesrats-mit-dieser-aggressiven-ueberwachung-muesste-proton-die-schweiz-verlassen-487339556764</span></a><br><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/proton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>proton</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>surveillance</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/switzerland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>switzerland</span></a></p>
