Sounds like it's a good idea to use an instance that isn't in the USA to protect yourself from data demands.

They just passed legislation in the house (it'll pass the Senate probably) that allows them to spy on anyone anywhere in the world.

They were already allowed to spy on non US citizens as much as they pleased.

The 5 eyes just made it super easy to ask someone else to acquire some data on US citizens and put it in a database that they conveniently had access.

Now, since the most of the country likes to gargle Trump's balls on the off chance he might hurt some non whites they don't even need the plausible deniability.

They can spy on non-us organizations, but they can't demand anything. You're better off having your data stored outside of the us by a non-us entity.

I'm on a VPN that has a proven track record of refusing US warrants in the past. I think I'll be alright.

IP is only one unique identifier, browser fingerprinting works quite well too.
