Switzerland: Draft anti-terrorism law sets ‘dangerous precedent’, rights experts warn

A proposed new anti-terrorism law in Switzerland could set a dangerous precedent for the suppression of political dissent worldwide, a group of five independent UN human rights experts warned on Friday.

The draft legislation, currently before the Swiss Parliament, expands the definition of terrorism and no longer requires the prospect of any crime at all, they said, in a plea for a last-minute reversal by legislators.

EU anti-terrorism commissioner warns against video games and pleads for backdoors

According to Gilles de Keroche, terrorists use video games for attack preparation and communication. Platform operators should therefore hand over the plain text of encrypted messages to law enforcement agencies.

In an interview with the news agency AFP, the EU anti-terrorism commissioner demands stronger regulation of computer games. Terrorists could use them to prepare attacks and as a means of communication. Combat games are suitable for testing attack scenarios.

The Belgian emphasizes that extremists already abuse video games for propaganda purposes. Right-wing extremists in Germany in particular have developed titles in which one could shoot at Arabs, the Jewish billionaire George Soros or the German Chancellor. In addition, the politician points out the danger of money laundering via game currencies. The games sector is not problematic as a whole, he said, but from the point of view of counter-terrorism there is too little regulation.
