Have a good time waiting, sir. In the meanwhile you might be interested in the following fact:

1. Google is removing XMPP as protocol http://www.zdnet.com/google-moves-away-from-the-xmpp-open-me...

2. On the other hand, however, duckduck is giving us some alternatives https://duck.co/topic/duckduckgo-s-new-public-xmpp-jabber-se...

Forget about DuckDuckGo, it's based in the US. Better use Startpage.com, which is based in the Netherlands.

And you don't think the EU isn't already doing pretty much the same thing?

It's not the fact that US=bad, EU=good. The fact is that you can use free software programs over xmpp which support OTR cryptography.
