Formal data processing agreements have been concluded with those third parties, but they are not considered as providing appropriate safeguards by the supervisory authorities, in accordance with article 46 of the GDPR. 

Indeed, the risks associated with those international transfers of Personal data are that, since the third parties concerned can be qualified as a provider of electronic communications services, local administrative and governmental authorities might have access to your Personal data in accordance with applicable national surveillance laws.
