Are you saying unlike USA?

> the western value system says it is too high a price to pay for freedom

Except we do have 100% surveillance in the US and equivalent programs in all the 5 eye countries. I assume you're aware of PRISM? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program)

Seems we're quick to point out "moral hazards" in other cultures and just as quick to forget the obvious ones in our own.
