This is absolute nonsense. I would prefer most of Europe over Switzerland. The swiss government was always bad with privacy. See Fichenaffäre for example. Not to mention the new büpf and similar laws. I’m swiss. I would never store sensitive data in Switzerland on a public server. Well. Except taxdata, I guess. Can’t really get around that.

Why would a company want to do that for their own internal use? Models you can download are mostly just data. They don’t do anything on their own. You can even write your own interpreter for them, if you feel like it.
