    How to quantify that?

    Number of surveillance cameras per square km?

    Being members of international intelligence sharing networks?

    Data protection laws in place? Level of enforcement?

    Not sure theres an easy answer to the question, I think you’d have to put together data based on a wide set of criteria, and even then you would only be able to work off publically accessible/known info

    Why do you ask? Did your government put a camera in your bathroom?

      I’m looking to move from the US because of their increasing wish to mimic China’s great firewall.

        Increasing? Brother if the US government wants to know what you are looking at its already over for you. They can know everything about you in like 5 minutes.

        I’m Aussie and I don’t really closely follow the news, but that sounds more like a censorship problem than a privacy one? Even the Chinese find a way around the wall though. My governments been trying to protect its citizens from the horrors of the open internet for decades, they’re… not good at it. I understand the desire for more freedom though.

          While it is a censorship one now, the only way to enforce it would be pretty heavy surveillance.
