Plus if the U.S. is not very careful (e.g. by establishing bilateral warrant requirements for some of our allies) I suspect they'll see the E.U. and Asia-Pacific nations starting to develop and adopt federated protocols en masse to workaround the threat of things like FISA.

Obviously people could store their data on a machine in a given country, the idea is that federated protocols inherently support that type of arrangement. There's no real way to point something like your Facebook login to be a "Generic Social Media" login to a social network provider of your choice, much like you can point your DNS to your preferred email provider.
