For now, the EU has strong data protection laws that the US and China don't have. Although it is true that stupid ideas like Chat Control keep popping up every couple of years.

Ideally, though, you put them in countries close to the EU but not part of it, like Switzerland.

    Data control laws to prevent the sale of data not the government use of data.

    governments often buy data instead of obtaining the necessary warrants, because its easier and more effective. if they can't buy it, they have to do it the harder way, and the harder way can be made even harder with legislation
