Swiss here, and I do not agree. We used to be able to trust our government, but more and more, as the years go by, tech-savvy people realize how laws have accumulated into surveillance.
Now there are much worse cases out there, sure. But most Swiss citizens are not even aware of those laws.
Nor are they aware of how much the Swiss government has been trying to hide its incompetence regarding anything IT-related. Like data leaks happening several times per year.
So yes, a big percentage of those almost 50% of "no we don't want this" responses were about lack of trust in the different branches of the government.
