Good to know! How about privacy? Ive not researched anything further regarding Switzerland.
Discussion
Can you be more specific? Generally i think we have a rather high level of privacy in Switzerland. E. G. Data Protection, Banking Secrecy, Data Security, Right to Privacy, ….
Explain it to me like a 5 year old I guess. In comparison to America or the EU, I’m not sure if you’re from Switzerland, if you were to pick 1 thing, where does Switzerland excel in terms of individual’s right to privacy of their general possessions etc (not just digitally)
Compared with USOA (if DOGE has an „O“, US of A also gets one):
• Banking and Asset Protection – Swiss banking laws offer strong financial privacy, with asset protection structures that provide more confidentiality than U.S. regulations, which enforce greater financial disclosure. I have friends who have to pay US-taxes even if the lived their whole life here, poor dogs.
• Property and Home Privacy – Authorities in Switzerland require clear legal justification and court approval for home searches, whereas U.S. law allows for broader law enforcement access under doctrines like “probable cause.”
• Surveillance and Public Space Privacy – Switzerland has stricter regulations on public and private surveillance, limiting government and corporate monitoring, whereas the U.S. permits more widespread surveillance with fewer legal barriers.
• etc.
Every time an US-American starts bragging about their “great American democracy,” I get secondhand embarrassment and think, if only they knew… They should take a closer look at Switzerland or the Scandinavian countries and ideally, visit them.
Thanks for the feedback. This is a good starting point to start my research lol
