I think it's more complicated than this video suggests. The most obvious omission is where are the rights of non-Americans in all of this? Privacy isn't just something in the US constitution, it's a human right. As it stands it looks as if well known US companies whose users aren't exclusively American are being used as vehicles to abuse people's rights globally.
Also, I'm not sure that there is a business model fix for this. Presumably if someone from the government shows up and insists that certain equipment be installed at your company then you have no legal powers to resist that. If there are data retention laws then you have to store data for some amount of time.
Technology can go some way towards ameliorating the problems, but I think the ultimate fix for this bug is at the political level.
