Maybe Trump trampling all over everyone changed something, but to state „Something the NSA is doing is ONLY happening in the US, and surely no EU agency is doing the same or helping the NSA“ is a bit naive.

Germany hosts the biggest network node in Europe with DECIX and the German equivalent of the NSA is known and authorized by courts to monitor all traffic there

You think it's any different in Europe? The NSA is snooping all the calls in the US, and they're also snooping all the calls in the EU. And the EU country intelligence agencies are doubtlessly doing the same. I only use the NSA example because it's one we have good evidence for.
