Yes, but this largely due to the US CLOUD act [0], and in my opinion, rightfully so. The US needs to get their privacy shit together.

Now, is it realistic that it will be illegal for EU providers to use services that are owned by US companies? Very unlikely that this will be the precedent (yes, I know, there are cases where some courts deemed Google Analytics and Google Fonts illegal).

However, I would personally also feel more comfortable using services from countries where the government can't subpeona all data at will.
