On the one hand, i support independence from the US.

On the other hand, the messenger i'm using better be hosted in another country, so it's less likely that local law enforcement can spy on my communications.

Most developed nations at this point have some sort of data-sharing treaty. So some other country not subject to local laws spies on you, then just shares that information with your local country, and vise-versa, and voila everyone on the planet has just skirted any and all consumer privacy protections.
