In this Associated Press dispatch- a group out of London- Privacy International- says the United (Corporate) States of America is among the group of lowest-rated countries when it comes to government voyeurism into private citizens' affairs.
Great Britain joins us as well in that group. PI says "terrorism- immigration and border security concerns" were among reasons given by governments to allow them to snoop on thier citizens.
The worst? Malaysia- Russia and China
The best rated countries? Greece- Romania and Canada. Canada- as well as Germany- were cited by PI as 2 of several "western" countries where citizen's privacy was declining- according to the AP article.
