If this comes to anything I’m moving to somewhere in the EU and pursuing citizenship there. This is clearly not about protecting the children anymore (not that it ever was).

EU is about to do the exact same thing. Norway is the place to be. That’s where I went - at least according to my ip address.

Huh. I’m also “moving” soon. Any reason for Norway over Switzerland?

Not sure about the situation in Norway, but Switzerland has a quite right-conservative government and is also expanding their surveillance , e.g. Proton freezes Swiss investment over surveillance fears

I saw this news and I guess it’s good that privacy is being discussed somewhat soberly over there in the wake of this investment decision.
Personally I have recently been exiting out of the UK, a much more invasive country, so Switzerland for now does seem like an improvement for me. Norway is further out geographically and has less Mullvad servers, would seem like the less favorable option for me unless the proposed laws actually pass.
Frankly I’m scrambling after the UK’s ID thing.

Norway is fine (for now).

No other than it’s geographically closer to my actual location so I thought the speed would be faster.

Norway is part of the Nine Eyes…
