The era of "Swiss privacy" is now officially over. Germany seems to be the last remaining beacon of hope (mainly thanks to its Constitution, its Courts, and a slightly higher privacy vigilance from the German population, not because its government is any better than the rest).
- bogomipz 10y agoCan you elaborate, what aside from bank accounts what else was part of the era of "Swiss privacy."

They sit right at the largest network hub in europe. There is also little democratic insight into the BND, as the public is excluded from all hearings.
