In Switzerland, a country known for its love for secrecy, particularly when it comes to banking, the tides have turned: An update to the VÜPF surveillance law directly targets privacy and anonymity services such as VPNs as well as encrypted chat apps and email providers.

Question.. does Switzerland actually have an exemplary record of defending an individual's rights to freedom and privacy or does Switzerland have a history of defending a corporation's right to privacy and obscurity of financing?
