"For an EU citizen it makes exactly 0 difference whether it’s a US agency spying on them", > "just let your sensitive information spill everywhere, who cares they got it anyway" This is not even an argument.

Great, as it should be. Imagine that, promoting domestic companies and progress. I've long thought that the Chinese Firewall was a subtle win for the Chinese. They have a flourishing information ecology of their own since they couldn't just use American product like Facebook or Amazon.
