No, as a good example for keeping your data sovereign. What you do with said sovereignty is another matter - I expect that part would play out differently in the EU than in China.

I wouldn't be too sure of the EU being a particular strong stalwart of public institutions vis a vis privacy.

They keep trying to hammer through anti-encryption or logging or scanning laws.

Big picture, there isn't a government in the world that is better for their citizens than the EU, but it's more like least-worst.

For example, free speech is a thing that the EU or its national governments love to encroach on and I am quite envious of the fiery defense it gets in the US.
