I’d rather take the service which is not hosted on US servers over one that is, given that I can verify neither of their server code.

Services hosted outside the US offer less protection against US intelligence agencies, not more.

Somehow I don’t buy it. Care to explain? One would think that being hosted on US soil makes it more likely to get backdoored by NSA type agencies.

IMO no location offers any protection against NSA et al. The US spy on friend and foe alike.

Technically they can't spy on US citizens without a warrant. Practically: Lol.
