Take your data and go to Switzerland?

We have found a new holy grail of privacy. It protects us from NSA and even from Britannia with their extensive surveillance systems. And it has decades of experience in making a business from what other people want to hide. But today it's not the usual black money from sport stars, soccer managers, mafia or autocrats to hide. Today it is much more political correct to go to switzerland with your data.

It's a common thing in capitalism that desasters foster creativity and profit, so nothing is wrong about offering i.e. a mail service in switzerland. It might be a clever idea for companies to host their data their too, if they are in fear of spying. But there is one thing I  just do not understand: why shall I feel save in switzerland? Because there is nothing in the news yet? Because they need a court order to access your email and data? Does anyone really know what this means? Is it difficult or even impossible to get this order? Is it public when an order is issued? And if it is save today, how long will it be that way?

Don't get me wrong: I appreciate these offers, even if they are expensive (like everything in switzerland). What I do not like is the claim that everything is save just because it is in switzerland. But maybe mykolab.com - they offer a email service hoisted in switzerland- knows the answers. I tried to find out. Unfortunately the beware-of-the-nsa-campaign seems to work so well, that their servers are down (written at 15:33 CEST) . At least I hope it is for that reason.
