That doesn't mean much for me because what's written on paper is different from what's actually happening. For example, Russia can create the best privacy-protecting rules but will anyone really believe that they'll be enforced? I do not compare Switzerland to Russia, there is a difference between these two countries but I'd say that it doesn't mean much.
Although I get the point, I disagree, because even though rules are often selectively avoided at a nation-state level, it's better to exist, than to not exist at all. Yes, the authorities misuse their power and they often use laws to enforce certain policies that aren't fair, but nevertheless, when a rule exists, it's more difficult to avoid it than when it doesn't exist.
But, of course, no country can be considered a privacy heaven.
