Switzerland is not some magical safe haven outside the reach of agencies like Europol.

It actually is. Switzerland isn't part of the EU, and their cooperation agreement with europol is limited to specific things.

They absolutely will not cooperate with bullshit harassment laws against their citizens or businesses.

Unfortunately what you and I consider bullshit harassment laws are not necessarily (and often not) considered that by governments. We can both agree how ridiculous something like this is, if it happened, but I severely doubt courts would have a similar attitude towards it.

Again, you're ignoring Switzerland's actual position and their actual history.

Switzerland doesn't enforce other countries' laws.
