Doesn't matter. Just because some guy revealed US government spies on people doesn't mean it's only the US who do this. Every government does this to the extent of its capabilities (example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5830994 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5830994). It's the system, not some particular government. If you vote, whoever you vote for - you're giving this system legitimacy. Don't be mistaken by thinking some governments are nobler than others. Some are better at appearing nobler or worse at doing bad things. But they all will try and coerce businesses into doing things they want given the opportunity.
That's why taking your business out of one jurisdiction to another hardly solves the problem. The source of the problem is the system of governance, not unjust businesses.
