Comment on Swiss government urges people to ditch Microsoft 365 and others due to lack of proper encryption

  In fairness a government should be the only entity surveilling people in its own borders under most any circumstances.

  I’m pretty opposed to most any kind of surveillance outside of warranted due process, and I don’t think that any domestic surveillance needs privacy for longer than it takes to do an investigation and prosecution.

  It’s when governments are allowed to do things in secret and outside of the law that the whole concept of the law is undermined.
