Outside EyesLaws that matter for privacy

- A proposed revision of the surveillance ordinance (VÜPF/OSCPT) would expand user identification and require six months of metadata retention. It was paused for a second consultation after strong opposition, and Proton began moving some infrastructure out of Switzerland. Source
