I want to go with you. The US is so awful for privacy, not just at an administrative level, but we have too many citizens that do not care ('nothing to hide') and believe in an internet that can only be funded by giving up privacy. (Just look to HN for many "well, how else do you pay for it?!" arms tossed up comments)
For a people that seem to think we're synonymous with 'freedom,' the paths we choose sure seem to indicate a fucked up vision of what 'freedom' looks like going forward.
Too many attitudes feel defeated and resigned to abusive things today.
