Of all the places to get caught it, Switzerland has to be a decent place. The people might be a bit crazy, but the place in general seems ok. Polanski will have to make cheese for a few years as punishment.
When a site like twitter goes down, backup plans aren’t available. Being out of the loop in the IT world means you become a dinosaur that much quicker. And when it’s used as an only means of communication for real data, it’s validity comes into question.
