Swiss providers cleared to hand customer data to EU prosecutors
Original: # Proton , # Swisscom , # Threema & Co. dürfen Kundendaten direkt an EU-Strafverfolgungsbehörden herausgeben – mit Spezi
The Swiss Federal Council has decided that providers such as Proton, Swisscom and Threema may hand customer data directly to EU law enforcement authorities under the EU's new e-Evidence regulation, provided they hold a special permit from Bern. The move resolves a conflict between Article 271 of the Swiss criminal code, which restricts acting for foreign states, and the EU framework. Privacy advocates are expected to scrutinise the implications for Swiss data protection.
Why now: The Swiss government's decision on cross-border data sharing with EU authorities raises fresh concerns about privacy and digital rights.
