Note that this applies to Proton Mail. Proton Mail is considered to be a communication service, and in most countries (including Switzerland), communication services are regulated to some extent. All companies need to comply with the local law. That being said, Swiss law is very restrictive, and there are a lot of hurdles that one needs to jump through to get a court order. And even with a court order (and has been proved multiple times in court), there is no way to break Proton Mail's encryption. Privacy is not the same as anonymity, and due to the way the internet works, if anonymity is what you are going after, you have to exercise proper infosec and take preventive measures, such as using Tor or VPN. Under Swiss law, the treatment of VPNs is different, and VPNs can indeed be no-logs, like Proton VPN is. No-logs VPN is also possible in other countries as well. What makes Switzerland different, and possibly unique, is that within the current Swiss legal framework, Proton VPN also does not have forced logging obligations.
