+1 for Liberty
That's the concept that encapsulates privacy, speech, etc.
The America-centric names are less appealing to me, since many equate "America" with the federal government, which is definitely not the friend of liberty / free speech / privacy.

He's from the same government that collects and reads all email of all citizens.
