Privacy is diametrically opposed to the ability to control the people you rule over, so no state is privacy friendly. There are only degrees of extremism. The poorer countries are more privacy friendly in the world because they lack the resources to spy on everything. If they could they would spy more.
If the GDPR would actually be enforced every time a situation calls for it, if the EU Commission wasn’t made of technologically inept idiots, and if Irelands DPC would stop protecting Meta, then anywhere in the EU.
That’s a lot of ifs though
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.
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.
The Netherlands for sure
I’m gonna assume you’re being funny
No I’m just an ignorant American. I meant Switzerland. The other land.
