If you are in the US and want to use European alternatives to avoid surveillance by US tech companies, then the NSA has free rein to intercept/decode/record everything you do that crosses US country borders. Also everything outside of US borders is considered fair game. Maybe the same is true of Europe and European borders? Even if your data is in a safe place, do the API's take the data across borders when used? Do you need to continually check the network route your data travels across to make sure it stays within borders?
