I doubt this is really an issue. Maybe some knee jerk anti-American types might spew nonsense like this but Europeans with a little more sense and insight and who actually care about this stuff are well aware that: 1. By law all European telecom providers, including ISPs, are required to provide a backdoor for everything that goes on on their networks (the infamous Data Retention Directive) and 2. All European security agencies cooperate quite willingly with their American counterparts. Some more so than others (the ones from the former Eastern Block are particularly notorious in this regard) so if an American three letter agency wants your data, it'll get it.
