Swiss Federal Council Plans Website Blocks in Case of Power Shortage
A scenario currently considered unlikely has prompted the Swiss Federal Council to take specific measures to prevent a power supply collapse. In the event of a power shortage, the government intends to impede the transmission of large amounts of data in the mobile network and block certain websites. The proposal envisions, as a first step, blocking specific websites. This primarily concerns social media, video, and music platforms that are widely used by many people.
