The number of governments that have not had to deal with ethics concerns is exactly zero.

Rather than drawing a broad hand-wavy link between ethics concerns and respect for privacy, you'd be much more accurate in measuring privacy by directly considering their practical legal frameworks that protect privacy.

This doesn't hold up. There are many countries that will straight up man-in-the-middle internet traffic with no oversight that have been at peace longer than Germany.

Maybe, but that doesn’t have any relation to the state of data privacy in a particular country. Most of the countries with almost no data protection at all (or laws that require your data to be compromised) don’t even have drones.
