#2Does a service being part of the “5-eyes” really mean anything? I mean, this list makes it sound like being in China is a better alternative than being in Canada.

Depends on the service and whether you are trying to hide from somebody who can issue a warrant or you are just trying to hide from corporations who sell your data. Also depends upon the level of encryption. For example, spider oak can hand over encrypted blocks of data if served a warrant but can’t tell even what your file names are in those encrypted blobs.
What specifically do you have in mind?

No, it doesn’t.
There was a time period where people were trying to use/put services in Iceland or Switzerland because they weren’t part of a known default sharing arrangement and people completely relied on poor interpretations of laws acting like the government took a completely hands off approach to data. The reality is that absent a treaty, these places can all choose respond to foreign warrants and often times do.
China and Russia being notably separate from the rest of the world, and also large areas.
