The only issue with that is being able to prove said item didn't go through NSA/CIA, or rather, that said server (no matter where it is) isn't somehow directing traffic in some form to the NSA/CIA. This is basically the issue I see for Americans, too. We can petition for abuses to be stopped but we can't prove our possible success. PRISM may be out of the bag but I'd guess most developed countries digitally spy on their citizens in some form.

Better yet, put it on every single piece of communication that isn't encrypted end-to-end. It would get people to learn to encrypt things just to eliminate that warning label.
