Switzerland was one place people use the name of as the hallmark of their service being free from surveillance while still residing in a developed country. So which will be that new country now, since apparently Swizterland isn't that option anymore? And what if that new country does something similar? Then next? And then? I don't think there will be many countries left to go to in that case. Or any, after some time? So, aren't user privacy and fight against surveillance running towards a wall which is the deadend?

Swiss being a bastion of privacy for anything other than banking should be taken with a pinch of salt. They've been up to their neck in crypto cooperation with the NSA since at least the Crypto AG scandal if not longer.
