Just a reminder: we are not all US citizens. There is no American court order or warrant that makes it legal for Google Ireland to hand over data about EU customers to the US government. They have admitted to doing this already[1] years ago. It's likely illegal under data protection laws for EU businesses to use Google services (or any other US based web service) to store customer data.
Google has sent us a statement that reads: "As a law abiding company, we comply with valid legal process, and that - as for any US based company - means the data stored outside of the U.S. may be subject to lawful access by the U.S. government."
