And the CEO just did it again, because apparently it wasn’t enough backlash the first time.

    Basically, Yen did an interview for Watson (a magazine) where he talked about the swedish government encroaching on encryption. He got political when he started talking about how all of the Swedish government officials were useless bureaucrats, and praised the US government’s methods instead.

    You're gonna need a bettet source than that, because this article and your comment say very different things. Why do people upvote comments like this one?

    The Switzerland part:

    There are three problems to be insulated. First of all, by extending the scope to a larger number of companies than was previously regulated for a few telecommunications giants, a massive expansion of Switzerland's surveillance state is in fact being carried out.

    There have been cases where we have seen demands against climate activists in France, we have seen situations where Catalan independence leaders have been unfairly targeted. I have many other examples that are not yet public about inappropriate targeting by the SCPT Service, which does not make any verification.

    Switzerland is not a favourable land for tech start-ups? The Swiss start-up ecosystem is now more competitive than Germany, more competitive than the EU, more competitive than the US itself. But with this consultation, we are making it much less attractive by imposing massive obligations and burdens on small businesses that do not have the resources to do so.

    I couldn't find the US is awesome part though.
