Where else to go? AFAIK most developed countries are increasing surveillance efforts. I’m not aware of many that aren’t involved in pushing some kind of anti-E2EE or facial recognition at airports or VPN regulation or most any other issue de jour.

Regardless, no matter where you are (besides China or Russia) you’re at least partially subject to USA jurisdiction as demonstrated by their Executive Order 14203 which implemented asset freezes and travel bans on ICC officials, judges, and prosecutors — effectively unilaterally “de-banking” EU bureaucrats over the objections of the EU.

Leaving is unfortunately kind of the only option, but I worry other countries are just going to follow this process too.
