I am Swiss myself and I feel like things are changing since Trumps second term, at least my friends seek closer ties to Europe now.
Proton gives me a bad feeling in the stomach, I would encourage people to not trust it. The guy is either a big Trump fan or most of his customers are from that base. The best option for e-mail is selfhost + pgp, the second best option are the various small companies offering email all across Europe.
Does Europe in your first sentence mean the EU or Europe in general, maybe even including Russia?
lol Russia is not particularly popular here right now, we are even on their list of "unfriendly countries" if you didn't know.
One of the "countries" in that list is the whole EU. That makes it practically meaningless when they have countries like Hungary licking they ass day and night.
