I feel the same way. Besides the fact that I think the Patriot Act and the FISA Amendments Act are disgusting, unconstitutional laws, at least let that be Americans' problem. If they are fine with it, so be it (they really shouldn't be, though). But in no way do I find acceptable that just because I'm using an American service, the US has access at will to all my data. I think it's common sense that there should be international treaties that state that "if you want my citizen's data, then you have to ask me first (the local government)". Stuff like that is what (maybe) will restore some trust in US companies in the future, but it's only one small step of the many steps needed to be taken to ensure the protection of both Americans and foreigners' privacy. The way I see it, foreigners with data on American corporations' servers should be more protected than American citizens, not less, because I'm not their damn citizen, so they have no business scooping up all my data when they want to! At least that's how they should approach this if they still care about the "economy" and their corporations' welfare. EU and UN also need to speak up more and say that this whole NSA spying thing is infringing on everyone's human rights for privacy. I feel this argument is being used very little right now, because I do think having private communications goes well beyond just one country's Constitution.
