In some places they say you are free and have rights, but you don't.
In other places you know you don't have certain rights and act accordingly, because people are not stupid, if they know there's a potential danger ahead, they become more cautious (or they carefully comply, because there are no alternatives).
I would say the first group of counties is more dangerous, because it gives people a false sense of security, lowering their natural defenses, while corporations profit from knowing everything about them, things they said they should never have had access to in the first place, because you have rights, right?
