The Swiss privacy regulator Privatim has taken steps to ban Microsoft, Amazon, and Google’s American cloud services for government agencies. Data storage within Switzerland offers no protection against American laws, Privatim argues.



Switzerland is contradictory in many ways. At the same time as they go for on-prem or sovereign cloud (laudable), they are passing laws that chase away privacy first companies such as Proton (less than optimal).
It’s not - they are keeping their data for their own goverment.
They are already spying on their own people for a LOONNGG time, have been spying legally on all data going in and out the country.
