[liberationtech] Swiss VPNs (was: Re: Lavabit, Silent Circle both shut down)

[taxakis]

Oligarchs and privacy advocates have something in common.  
If you got a better place, please name it.  
And by the by, forget Germany, it may not have data retention (for now), but
it does have 50,000 American troops, a refurbished Bad Aibling with all
newly trained German personnel, and a huge Intel building in Berlin that can
house 101 Airborne in the basement.  While the abolished Pullach
establishment is readied for 'modern intel testing equipment'.

Switzerland has data retention laws. While it might be good for oligarchs to
hide their money, it is not good for online privacy.
