Infomaniak's Shocking Support for Swiss Government Surveillance

Swiss internet service provider Infomaniak has publicly supported a controversial Swiss government proposal that would mandate the collection of user data. The proposal requires mandatory metadata retention, bans online anonymity, and allows government access to user data without a warrant. While Infomaniak claims this is to combat crime, critics argue it's a severe privacy violation, directly contradicting Infomaniak's self-proclaimed ethical stance and commitment to user security. Conversely, companies like Proton are actively opposing the proposal and even threaten to leave Switzerland if it passes. This incident highlights concerns about online privacy and data security, urging users to carefully choose their service providers.
