I'm not sure how the countries exactly cooperate with each other, but let's say a social network is located in the Netherlands and has tons of European users. What's stopping the Dutch intelligence agencies from spying on European users, including the Romanians who use said social network?

Spying on EU citizens outside of Netherlands is more complicated, first because we aren't Dutch and compared to the US, we are EU citizens so it's not like they don't care about foreigners, the issue being delicate.

I'm not saying that they can't do that. I'm saying that they are thinking twice about it.
