The bill did not pass in the first stage of the law making process as all the political parties rejected it. Also, I’m very certain that even if it passed the first few hurdles, someone would make an initiative against it and that initiative would win 9 out of 10 times as most Bünzlis are serious about their privacy and would feel like their freedoms are being taken away by such a law.

I love it when English speakers try to make fun of German or French, languages that have a very strict rules and easy to memorize exeptions. While they speak one of the most random languages there is:

Pronounced the same written differently:

• Fore vs for vs four
• Buy vs by vs bye Etc.

Written the same but pronounced differently:

• Tear and tear
• Lead and lead Etc.

And you can’t even just memorize a rule: Eight = ate so you would expect height = hate but it doesn’t…

The ICC and like every fucking human rights organisation disagrees with you.

*The Federal Council’s plans to reform the monitoring of postal and telecommunications traffic have been rejected in the consultation process: All the major parties that have expressed an opinion on the matter reject the plan.

In their statements, the Greens, SP, Green Liberals, FDP and SVP speak of endangered data protection, a threat to Switzerland as a location for innovation, disproportionate interference by the state and unclear effects of the planned changes to the ordinance.

The Green Liberals and the FDP also see the planned changes as contradictory to current law. The Center Party declined to comment. Organizations such as the Swiss Digital Society and companies such as the Swiss messenger service Threema have also criticized the plans.

The Federal Council sent the partial revisions of two implementing decrees out for consultation at the end of January. This ended on Tuesday. According to the Federal Council, this involves a “clear definition of the categories of cooperation obligations” for providers of communication services, for example in the case of surveillance authorized by the authorities as part of criminal proceedings.

This primarily affects traditional telecommunications services such as Swisscom, Sunrise and Salt, but also service providers that provide communication services without their own infrastructure, such as messaging, VoIP, VPN, cloud or email services such as Whatsapp, Threema, Protonmail or Skype.

With the revision, the latter are to be divided into three new groups with different obligations, depending on the number of users and turnover. According to the federal government, this is intended to achieve a “more balanced gradation of obligations”.

Confederation plans to introduce new types of information and monitoring According to the Greens, companies that provide a service for 5,000 users would now have to be able to identify the latter by storing their IP address. Companies with more than one million users would be obliged to store marginal data such as the geolocation of customers for six months.

This “vastly expanded data retention” would make it impossible to operate secure messenger or email services and would be a “massive intrusion” into privacy. For the SVP, the new definition of obligations “obviously has the potential” to burden a number of SMEs instead of relieving them.

The federal government also plans to introduce new types of information and surveillance. It writes that the two revisions to the ordinances basically provide for the obligation to remove encryption. However, end-to-end encryption such as messenger services are exempt from this.

On Swiss television’s “Tagesschau” program, Jean-Louis Biberstein, deputy head of the Federal Postal and Telecommunications Surveillance Service, recently said that the requirements for service providers would not be tightened. They would be clarified.

After the revision, a company like Threema would have the same obligations as before. Threema contradicts this in a statement sent to various media at the end of April. The revision of the VÜPF would force the company to abandon the principle of “collecting only as little data as technically necessary”.

The Swiss internet service provider Proton also wrote to the news agency Keystone-SDA on request that the Federal Council’s proposals would “massively expand” state surveillance. In its statement, the association “Digitale Gesellschaft Schweiz” speaks of a “serious attack on fundamental rights, SMEs and the rule of law”.

That’s the translation from the article.

The law did not pass. All the parties from left to right were like: f* that shit idea. So nothing changes. And if it were to change I’m sure most parties would start an initiative and stop it.

Here an article.

And if you want to rent this is what you are greeted with…

Unfortunately it is and its peak was after it faded into darkness (last december 1 bitcoin was like $100k).

Didn’t they just recently vote anti european?

Aaaaabbbbberrr Ausländer und Woooooke Virus!!!

Dialog is the game play copium

If you never vaped. Don’t start, it is a waste of money + unhealthy.

If you already do, instead of looking for a replacement: quit.

Nice another metric with absolutely zero value for the average joe, just to envoque a sense of patriotism seing their countries ranked against other countries.

I wish the biggest problem in my life was how good a video game is. If you don’t like the game, leave a bad review, warn others in your circle… but don’t go harassing people that worked on it.

Don’t forget to cancell it. They usually do this thing, where it renews automatically.

Only 4 millions? That’s kinda cheap.

Nice, ein weiterer Krieg. Genau, dass was wir gebraucht haben! /s

Good on her city. More cities should do this. We don’t need many cars in cities, specually in dense european cities. We need more bike lanes, more public transport and more green parking spaces.

The problem is, getting people to start using it. What’s app is free and everybody uses it. If you want them to switch, rather use somthing that’s also free over something with a cost barrier.
