Hi folks,

I don't know if I missed any discussion on this, but I thought
I'd post this out of interest:

http://www.privacyinternational.org/survey/phr2003/countries/switzerland.htm

paragraph 7:

The new law also provides for the surveillance of e-mails, which are
treated as every other telecommunication. Swiss Internet service
providers (ISPs) are now required to keep a six-month log of all e-mails
sent by their customers. These providers must log customer activity,
including connection times, e-mails sent, addresses and senders, but not
the content of the e-mails. Many ISPs will thus have to create the
respective interfaces to make surveillance possible. However, legal
authorities will only be able to access this data as necessary for an
ongoing investigation into suspected criminal activity. To access the
provider's electronic log, an investigating judge must issue a search
warrant, and in some cases, the suspects will have to be informed of the
proceedings.

Cheers,

-John
