This should be the final wake up call for the EU to create souvereign IT infrastructure and stop relying on the US (and any other non-EU/EFTA country) for essential communication infrastructure and services.

Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

It worries me how much stuff I have on American hosted servers. Photos, email, authorizations for other services, documents, backups, etc. Access to all that seems to depend on the whims of a foreign leader. (I'm not American). If all it takes to get put on a list is disagree with him, I better at least make local backups.
Start moving your stuff to european hosters as soon as possible.
Don‘t use US cloud services, look into hosted nextcloud if you want an easy way to be in control of your data without having to selfhost everything.
Hetzner in Germany or Infomaniak in Switzerland are great starting points.
While I agree with you, that's not going to happen, because the EU itself is a fascist organization. They also want total information awareness and control over every aspect of your life. Right now, they can wring hands and point at USA, but they will do it, independent of the USA, as well, without the masses organizing and some civil disobedience.
Eu a fascist organization? WTF - stop drinking lead…
You have to understand that to American snowflakes any hint of community focus is fascism. The slightest suggestion of collective action is trampling on their God-given right to be shitheads to each other.
