That's just plain nonsense. There are different opinions of protection of personal data here and there, yes, but if people do see things different from you does not automatically make those people anti-american. And yes, there are different traditins in law, and there's different perspectives on personal data protection. If someone has a different opinion from you or his law is different, that does not mean he's lost his sense of reality. You may think to live in god's own country, but face it: Even Americans are only human and you, just like anyone else, can bungle things up big time. Not everything the US or corporate America come up with is glorious or above other countrie's laws.
