It doesn't really matter what is being done, what matters is the trend that countries are moving in. The UK started on a more authoritarian baseline than the US, so their laws are more restrictive. But by and large, everyone is moving in the direction of more control, and there's no reversal in sight. That's not to mention how big the disparity can be between individual US states, many of which are far more extreme than Illinois in anything they do. They don't need universal international cooperation - sufficient cooperation is enough for their goals, and they may get it this time.
