I assume because it's not Five Eyes, no idea the details on their privacy laws but suffice to say yes, I'm sure the government could take it down if they so desired.
Imagine being France and getting left out of the cool kid spying club in favor of New Zealand. Fucking New Zealand gets treated as equal with the UK, US, Australia, Canada. But not France. Honestly pretty funny.
Apparently Sarkozy tried during the obama admin, but the US wouldn't sign a "no-spy" agreement as part of it like they did with the other 4, so it was dropped
Of course. It's like the circles of hell. The inner most ring is reserved for the worst of humanity- the Anglos (majority nations). Those disgusting Franks are in the next level with the swarthy Germanics (eww). Kinda funny actually since France has certainly "earned" its top-tier inner circle of Hell for imperialism prize. But got denied. Snubbed by the Anglos again. Hate to see inner-whites ethnic disputes continuing.
(This is all joking in case anyone wants to get butthurt over mocking white ethnic groups. Well, part of it's real. Whatever)
as others have said: France.

just makes it slightly harder and hypothetically illegal to spy on us.

De Gaulle just squirmed down in hell at the insinuation that they should be sharing secrets with the anglos.

It is however part of the Nine Eyes.
