This puts the Swiss government in a bad situation. What non-foreign messenger are they going to use now?

I guess they're going to keep using Threema. The clients are open source and implement E2E encryption. Apparently the headquarter will stay in Switzerland. And today after learning about the acquisition, I learned that Threema was already sold to Afinum five years ago, another private equity firm. If an acquisition is a problem, it already was one at least since 2020.
