    I’m also sick of hearing about Swiss privacy laws. Their intelligence service got busted covering for a US and German spy front operation in Switzerland. If it happened once, I promise it has happened before and since.

    Edit for those who can’t click: a front company in Switzerland sold fake encrypted communications services around the world for years, possibly decades, with the assistance of Swiss intelligence agencies.

      it’s as if swiss privacy laws are only useful for big time, pre-crypto, old school money laundering

        “Swiss privacy” for online services is a bit like “Swiss made” for expensive watches - a marketing term.
