I always had the suspicion that the (seemingly higher) interest in privacy/FOSS in Europeans is fueled partly by anti-Americanism. In America, even if you don't trust the government, at least it's your government, so I don't feel like that plays as big a role, and any interest in privacy/FOSS (like mine) is untempered by the anxiety of an alien government's interference. :p Regardless, I love how much more Europeans seem to value privacy.

After American Wars in the Middle East killed and displaced millions, there is good reason to be wary of Americans and the American government.

- fritigern 4y agoI worry more about my government compared to the government of a county far away that has no power over me.
