LOL you can’t be serious. They would just be subject to Panamanian court orders.

Yes, and since Panama has a long history of telling foreign nations to fuck off, data is much safer there than in Switzerland. At least as a non-Panamanian. You claim Switzerland is the "most privacy-respecting country on the planet," but I'd like to see the evidence. Since they comply with every court order, then I would argue one's data is no safer in Switzerland than most other European countries. Which is to say, completely unsafe from most Western governments.

Since they comply with every court order

What makes you think that?

Because they are required to by law in Switzerland, and would face sanction if they did not.

That's not entirely correct, and in fact they do successfully challenge a large number of them.
