In relation to the proposed changes to the swiss surveillance laws (which we discussed already here and here – the changes receiving negative feedback):
While the initial feedback is mostly negative and the proposed changes were rejected from all parties from left to right, campax together with the swiss digital society has launched a petition against these proposed changes, which are available in german, french and italian.

Also Adrienne Fichter, a well known swiss journalist, wrote an article about that topic two weeks ago:
The bill sounds like it was written by the Kremlin: If the federal government has its way, Swiss internet users will have to identify themselves with ID or a telephone number in future. The timing for this is extremely bad.
..
Internationally, the regulation can almost only be compared to the draconian internet laws of Russia, China and Iran, which require either a real name or a mobile phone number for email, hosting and all kinds of digital services
The article is in german, feel free to use your favorite translation tool. Its worth it.
