I'm not because:
1) US and UK are the forefront of pushing for such laws recently first in "X Eyes" countries and then in others as well, because it's actually the NSA and the GCHQ proposing them
2) The UK is bound by the Human Rights Charter in the EU and some of the data collection and spying laws are actually illegal (even if they keep going for now). Through this "international treaty" (that supposedly the EU countries would sign, too) they could probably bypass that.

Data could end up being siloed in countries where the users are based so their government can decide who can see it.
