One option would be to serve this data directly from the European server. However, it's not the public profile data which most people object to be shared, it's the tracking/user-profile data which FB collects in the background.

What do you think happens with the data when you "serve it directly from the European server" to a user in Florida?
Exactly, it leaves the EU to go to Florida. ;-)

People in the EU can explicitly share data with other people, they aren’t trying to take down the phone system.
Yeah, to the user who requested it. Also, it's just the user's post, not the user's tracking/advertisement data.
So the only thing the US government could get, are the public facing posts/images which the user posted but nothing more. If the profile is private, even less. No messenger data (except when send to users in the US).
