As a Swiss citizen, I assure you that the EU is a better zone. (One of the reasons I use Tutanota). Some points:
- No company has ever been significantly penalized in Switzerland on this issue,
- The SRC, despite numerous legal violations, has never been punished,
- It's a myth that falsely links banking secrecy with data protection,
- All it takes is for a judge to categorize someone as a terrorist, and they lose all protection—case of a French squatter.

Being pro-privacy, I opened both Tuta & Proton accounts to compare. Like almost all the expert reviews they seem very similar overall (pluses & minus points are not important to me).
The deciding factor came down to Tuta making adverts about 'issues' with Proton, whereas I have never seen anything negative about Tuta from Proton.
The current politics is to gouge the opposition, but I prefer the guys who don't so it.
