Data sovereignty has become a critical issue in today’s digital landscape. Since the 2008 financial crisis, there has been increasing pressure to repatriate internet services to Europe, and especially to Switzerland, to reduce dependence on American and Chinese technology providers.
This shift is driven by growing concerns about data privacy, security, and the monopolistic control exercised by global corporations such as GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft), which dominate the world’s digital infrastructure.
Many so-called “free” internet services in the United States are financed through the collection and exploitation of user data, often without genuine consent. In parallel, the expansion of international surveillance, cyber threats, and geopolitical conflicts have exposed the vulnerabilities of hosting sensitive data outside secure jurisdictions.
The rise of data mining, AI-driven profiling and targeted advertising has frequently bypassed European privacy laws, exposing users to extensive data exploitation and unauthorised use of their personal information. As artificial intelligence systems become more sophisticated in analysing behaviour and predicting preferences, the importance of ethical data governance and transparent consent has never been greater.
Data Protection and Regulation
With the introduction of the GDPR (EU) and the nLPD (Switzerland), data protection standards have been significantly strengthened, ensuring greater transparency and respect for user privacy.
As global regulations evolve in response to increasingly state-controlled internet governance, Switzerland continues to offer a neutral, stable and secure environment for hosting personal and sensitive information.
