Generally speaking, police and security agencies have more rights to collect data and tap lines. This is true regardless of the country and how many protections they have.
Judging by comments, GDPR is something people in US may like. It may satiate a lot of concerns consumers balk at.
Did you know GDPR doesn't apply to law enforcement/security agencies collecting data?
Even if US changed (whatever that would mean, I don't know) regulations/laws in this respect, there's still going to be mechanisms where data has to be bulk collected for a security purpose.
The reason why is nobody has devised a way to know for sure what's interesting, at the time, while it goes through the wire, reliably, because it'd require being able to predict the future.
