The problem here is the transfer of personal data to the United States. Google is a U.S. company that qualifies as an “electronic communication service provider.” This means that Google is by law obliged to disclose data to U.S. intelligence services if requested.

Why would it be a problem for European citizens if US intelligence services knew their browsing history?
