As a US citizen, I have to say that you are completely mistaken. The US is a privacy hellscape.

It's all relying on US tech and there is strong lobbying coming from the US for such solution. US has already deployed mass surveillance, major difference is they did it without telling citizens.

There's no one solid "Europe", there is a bunch of countries that are farther from each other than states in US.
