A further irony is that, for US citizens, doing so has an increased likelihood of the federal government (through the NSA and FISA) having grounds to intercept, monitor, and store your data "legally" without a warrant (it claims).

<insert obvious but judicially ignored logic that FISA violates the letter and spirit of the Fourth Amendment>

I guess Europeans are quite satisfied that US don't have jurisdiction in the EU.

Sure, GDPR isn't applicable against law enforcement, but it is a surprisingly strong public right. TM and robocalls? It didn't take long for all of that to cease after I simply started to ask for the name and contact information to the consumer privacy manager for the caller's employer and then whispering "GDPR" whenever I got an unsolicited phone call.
