Comment on Switzerland: Say no to a surveillance state

Comments

It's a pity that foreigners who live for a long time in Switzerland cannot be part of this...

If you live in Switzerland legally, you are allowed to sign the petition.

really? this is great! thanks for the info. Do you have any link by hand which defines these rules? (i.e. what kind of permit do I have to have, does it differ from canton to canton? ...)

No links to hand I'm afraid, but I'm pretty sure that it's anything more permanent than a tourist visa. Don't think it varies by canton. I'll try and remember to dig about/ask my wife (sorry, just about to go to work..)

Yes, you CAN ALL be part of this!

The world's HN readers are now the LOBBYISTS of this petition! Yes, just like the corporate lobbyists in Washington - probably even more powerful considering our numbers.

All you have to do is LOBBY the sh*t out of your colleagues in Switzerland. Everybody knows somebody in Switzerland. If the whole world lobbies the people in Switzerland, that petition will reach Mach10, like yesterday.

EDIT: Why should you participate? You get to store your data in a western country that will continue to defend privacy and democracy.
