Summary | This article criticizes und scrutinizes a previous article from Schweiz am Sonntag about the Geri Müller sexting scandal coming to the conclusion that the story leaves out important parts just to make it more scandalous. Yes, the police had been called by Geri Müller but not to destroy the sexting evidence as this evidence had already been in the hands of several newspapers but had not been published as it was not relevant enough but to protect the woman from herself because she had threatened Geri Müller to commit suicide. Geri Müller did nothing illegal – just consensual sexting. That is nobody’s business even if he holds public office.

Summary | Switzerland saw two nude selfie scandals in and around politics this summer. A secretary working in the parlamentarian offices had been tweeting nude selfies taken on the premises. Parlamentarian and city mayor of Baden in Switzerland, Geri Müller, had been sexting with an online friend via WhatsApp, including an abundance of written messages and nude selfies. The Swiss public had been debating whether Müller's #selfiegate should have been newsworthy at all. What ultimately emerges is a double standard: the secretary lost her job within days and the mayor is still representing the Swiss people in parliament.

Summary | A secretary working in the Swiss Federal Palace in Bern has been regularly tweeting nude images of herself from the workplace. Experts now discuss whether this is reason enough to dismiss her. Although she has not crossed an explicitly defined line, the secretary's actions can be argued to be a threat to the security of of her workplace. Had she been a higher official, this misconduct would have certainly qualified for her dismissal.
