The U.S. doesn't even respect Citizen@s data half the time. Remember, the Courts ruled that expectation of privacy, and therefore 4th Amendment protections are waived as soon as you engage with a Third Party.
In the end, though, there is a high-tech solution here, and that's to migrate to 100% asymmetrically encrypted messaging, at the application level, regardless of underlying transport. This would force nation states to risk large scale hacking of devices, but that's more visible and easier to combat, as long as we remain free to make (and buy) the compute hardware we want to make.
