“Warrantless surveillance” was yesterday's concern, back when Snowden's revelations were in the news.

Today the concern is war, both economic and literal.

From that perspective, I'll gladly use Australian, or Canadian online services, while avoiding using US ones for as much as possible. Note, I don't think it will be long before services like Fastmail will start moving their servers. Again, yesterday the US was an ally, whereas today the writing is on the wall.
