So even if data protection rules were perfectly adequate in every single country on this planet, there would still be justified concern about transferring data across borders.
That's a situation that must change, and it can change without taking away the bowl of sweets from security agencies altogether (which will never happen).
In general, this is a very good thing. The main outcome will be that more engineers will be needed to do more work to ensure that data is handled more carefully. The cost will be slightly reduced profits at companies that handle large volumes of data globally. What's bad about that?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
If those companies can't remain profitable without being irresponsible with sensitive private data then maybe they shouldn't exist at all.
This isn't just an impediment to businesses that deal in selling "sensitive private data". It's an impediment to any business that has any data about its customers (e.g. delivery addresses). Unless I'm misunderstanding it?
I think there's a bit of a rush to panic about data balkanisation here; remember, this is not a ruling that applies directly to Facebook, but to the information commissioner of Ireland.

Question: If Facebook manages data within Europe, what are the safeguards in place to ensure that there won't be mass surveillance, e.g. face recognition, shadow profiles, friend graph browsing?

Depends. The courts might rule that that sort of "click-through" agreement is invalid and doesn't count as consent.
