Swiss Federal Council plans website blocks in case of power shortage
A scenario currently deemed unlikely has prompted the Swiss Federal Council to take specific measures to prevent a collapse of the power supply. In the event of a power shortage, the government intends to make it difficult to transmit large amounts of data over mobile networks and to block certain websites. The proposal envisages that certain websites will be blocked in a first step. This mainly affects platforms for social media, videos, and music that are widely used by many people.
