It's the NSA's job to do that domestically, it's just supposed to be firewalled by some hidden kangaroo court that absolutely doesn't do its job: FBI agents have been busted stalking women/exs several times.
Has been since 9/11. Remember, there's the omnipresent neverending war on terror.
I mean, sure, stipulate that. But there isn't even a kangaroo court for a service hosted in Europe.
Europe has plenty of “Kangaroo courts” of their own and partnerships like five eyes encourages authorities to share information. The UK’s NSA equivalent doesn’t need to worry about infringing on an American’s 4th amendment right and technically (if you don’t think about it) the NSA has plausible deniability if the UK shares this information. And vise versa with UK citizens or any western government.
I think OP meant the EU. The UK is known to be a totalitarian surveillance state and has been less free than the US in that respect for a long time.

I don't mean that Europe has worse processes. I mean that the US IC doesn't care about those processes. They can just take whatever they want from European providers.
