At least there are a few shreds of controls remaining on US agency surveillance of US persons using US networks.
But there are absolutely zero controls on monitoring networks beyond US borders, so it's open season for non-US hosts.
not just US location or even US services .. it's hard to be secure when we know that the US gov is reading and storing everythign they can.
In comparison -- the EU is not. The EU has the opposite approach and takes data privacy very seriously. This is backed up with effective legislation.
EU hosts are almost certainly monitored even more by US agencies than US hosts.
GDPR doesn't fix any of this.
