You are raving. Every society has thoughtcrimes—no sensible person voted for them, civil liberties do not apply, and there is no recourse or appeal.
All the U.S. influence means is that you now have to check CNN.com as well as the Daily Mail. If CNN has weeks of coverage of new anti-tomato laws, move your pro-tomato website to a non-American server. For the most part, the CIA is just a bunch of fashion-conscious hipsters with really cool spy shit. Avoid whatever is unfashionable and you're safe.
If you really want to worry about government surveillance, worry about one of your friends drinking an epic amount of cider and deciding to use your bank card on a kiddie porn website as a lark. The NSA's influence is nothing compare to what your local thoughtcrime enforcers do.
