Yes, that seems to be the case. Also in switzerland there are no "drag-net" operations where they scan millions of website and phones all at once, like the NSA is already known to do in the US. It seems in switzerland, every surveillance order MUST individually go through a court and be signed off by a judge, and there's no "batch orders" like there are in the US, where they sign off on thousands of requests at once. So there's just less surveillance in total, and the surveillance that does happen is much more documented. I think it's about the best that exists on planet earth right now.
