    Every country has survaillance, US just makes the most noise with laws being passed. It’s the principle that matters - once other countries see that a certain law allows them to monitor people more closely, they’ll want to pass their version of that law. Australia is basically a Police State, UK also has very privacy-invasive laws.

      Weird, only China gets called out for it by American media.

        I mean, no suprise there, every country calls out every other country on that. It’s only OK for the American goverment agencies to spy on Americans.
