Unfortunately US law appears to compel American companies to share your data without your knowledge to the US government.
Given the current US government is headed by a person that just looks to take what he wants - your assurances aren't comforting.
- TeMPOraL 2y ago> Unfortunately US law appears to compel American companies to share your data without your knowledge to the US government. Sure, but that's not some unexpected gotcha - it's just a plain fact of geopolitical reality, managed by international treaties and accounted for in laws and contracts around the world. A multinational enterprise isn't like a person subscribing to a free plan of a random SaaS because the "sign up" button was the right shade of green - there are armies of lawyers on both sides, tasked with navigating applicable regulations (including GDPR and export control laws) and finding out a way to make things work. When they can't, the deal simply doesn't happen.

What actually happens is you have people seeing no evil, hearing no evil and speaking no evil - by going lalalala - hoping that because everybody else is doing it they won't get fired. This happens because alternatives seem too hard.
