It's OK though because EU police can get their hands on it too. Phew!

I'm not joking. It's legally very questionable. It matters little if all the data is public.

Have you heard about that $1.3 billion fine that Meta got under the GDPR? That was for sending data to US servers where the US government can get to it. It was the highest fine ever under the GDPR and it happened because Meta complies with US law. For that matter, the option to embed images into posts is a violation, as well.
