I think this is a good place to talk about the fact that all U.S.-based technology companies have to provide requested data stored on servers regardless of whether the data are stored in the U.S. or on foreign soil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act

This, with the huge amount of tracking from most tech companies means that the U.S. government basically can get almost unlimited information about anyone, wherever they are. Kinda scary if you ask me. Then again, after the Snowden revelations, this doesn't surprise me.
