[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 780420"] US Govt. has massive budgets and can do significant levels of spying on the entire planet. For US Citizens, the use of such data is limited, if not impossible so it serves them no purpose in most cases as while they can collect the data, they cannot utilize it because it isn't paired with actionable intelligence to authorize it. It's also a violation of the US Constitution. For anyone not a US Citizen, those protections aren't in place and the data is a free for all for the most part. Also remember, contractors and public domain intelligence aren't as well protected so that's almost a free for all. There are 'ways' around restrictions, such as CIA operations on US Soil is proxied by a rep from the FBI fronting the activity at the behest of, etc. But for a non-US Citizen, I probably wouldn't use US Based stuff to be honest. If I wasn't based in the US you'd never catch me using it because those consumer protection laws, state and federal constitution aren't there for you. I'd actually be more inclined to toss my data over to Germany, with the decent German privacy laws (and their acute awareness of govt. overstep) and GDPR. Also some firms have signed the TeleTrust agreement which further enhances your security and privacy. Gdata is one company that signed the TeleTrust agreement. The result - a “No Backdoor” guarantee. With this, the IT company based in Bochum, Germany, undertakes not to provide any holes for intelligence services in its security solutions. G DATA does not leave backdoors open, thus guaranteeing not only the best possible, but also reliable, protection against online threats. This point is very important for companies that take privacy and the forthcoming EU basic data protection regulation (EU-Datenschutz Grundverordnung; EU-DSGVO) seriously. In addition, G DATA promises that the leveraging of personal data and telemetry information is reduced to a minimum. As such, the principle of the EU-DSGVO is already being upheld - and, more than that, the processing of such information and data takes places exclusively in Europe. So your point is very valid!
