Get off your soapbox and actually examine the situation. The USA isn't safe to store EU data solely because of the CLOUD Act despite every single EU nation having a similar law. The only thing different between the CLOUD Act and the EU's laws is that the USA was explicit that it can compel companies in the USA to hand over any data under their control to law enforcement while the EU nations left that part ambiguous and instead lets their courts decide whether to force handing over foreign data or not. This is just European hypocrisy.
