Swiss Government Backs Privacy Oriented ISP

Posted by samzenpus on from the eyes-on-your-own-screen dept.

judgecorp writes "The Swiss government owned telco Swisscom is pitching a "Swiss Cloud" operator which promises to keep customers' credentials private in the wake of the NSA spying scandal. Switzerland has strict privacy laws, with which the Swisscom cloud complies, and the operator now wants to offer that more widely."

    The point you're missing is that the general international sentiment towards US is changing. They're no longer regarded as the super nice nation that will protect the world from the bad guys, they're becoming bad guys themselves.

    Perhaps this initiative or Brasil's initiatives won't stop the NSA, but the point is that these countries have started to take measures against the States when that would've been unheard of 10 years ago. Expect more countries to do the same, and move further away from a dependence on US & Co's economies. USA's bitches are growling and may start biting soon.
